Review
Christopher is a young boy who dislikes many things such as: eating meat and vegetable dinners, cleaning his room, doing homework, and taking tests. When his inventor neighbor invents a remote that is capable of time travel into the future, he tries it out so he could pass by all those moments in his life that he dislikes. In the book, "Time Remote," Christopher realizes that passing life by quickly, doesn't make things any easier...it just makes it harder and less fun. He learns that by skipping over certain events in his life, he misses out on what is most important. MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book --My ParenTime
