Have you ever read a book about time travel and just thought it was a good story because it has a pretty basic plot? Let me tell you something about this book. It eats your brain out. You constantly find yourself stopping to think about details of what would happen to the "future you" if this happened to you because he does so much to possibly change his current life. Yet of course, that's a good thing in this case. This book is about a sixteen-year-old kid named J.J. who is an assistant to Professor Poplov who helps him with his projects. While the professor is gone J.J. guesses the code to the security panel on the secret closet where professor Poplov keeps all of his secret projects. He discovers in the closet a time machine. Testing it out he accidentally goes back four years. He stumbles into his old self and is followed to the labs. He from then on calls this him Jacko. Jacko follows him forward to present time where they see strange people on the roof. They rush back six years to warn the professor. While there they run into Mutt. Mutt is J.J. but six years younger. After solving the problem the two older J.J.s go home.
All of the problems in this story came one after another and soon led to the end. I liked the style of writing most of all. The way the author wrote the story is the same way I write. I also liked how it made me think. It kind of confused me sometimes. The last of the story is written from Mutt's point of view. Mutt then begins to rewrite his future in a whole different way. This book really puts readers right in the story.

I remember reading this when I was a kid. I always thought it was a pretty neat book. Time travel is always a cool thing to read about, and this one is pretty good too. One of the best things I remember is writing a letter to the author. She wrote me a full-length letter back! For an 11-year-old kid, that's quite a thrill. I recommend this book for any children's book library.
