Move Over Harry Potter!,
By Editor, Author, Publicist (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tempus Fugit (Paperback)
Tempus Fugit
In this charming novel, Yengst effectively combines adolescence, time travel and intrigue. Billy Maxwell is upset when his elderly uncle is institutionalized, but values the old pocket watch he gave him on his departure. Soon, Billy realizes that when the sun hits the watch just right a black hole opens and the holder of the watch and his companions can travel through time. Guided by his Uncle Will and accompanied by his best friend, the three meet some important and influential historical characters while trying to save the world from dire consequences. This is a wonderful book for kids of all ages, melding adventure with youth, history with tragedy and leaving the door open for a sequel. If you like the Harry Potter novels, you'll love this book.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Short yet interesting story puts a spin on history,

Ever wondered what it'd be like to meet Anastasia or Ben Franklin? Billy gets the chance to do both while traveling through time with his Uncle Will's watch. They've got to stop Dr. Janus from throwing all sorts of history way off.
The book's more YA appropriate, but it's enjoyable for any age. |
