A good summary of modern history with a fun storyline about the time-travelers woven throughout. I appreciate the way Lance & James wrestle with questions about perspective, morality, and spirituality in a way that feels believable.
The chapters are fairly long, so we would sometimes save half for the next day if my 6yo was getting squirmy. That said, my 8yo is sad that we finished! Written from a solidly Christian perspective that talks about the Gospel specifically in addition to more general themes like the sovereignty of God.
Spoiler: Most significant events in recorded history are mentioned in this or the first volume of the series. There are plenty of exceptions to fit everything into two books, but that seems fair.

Fun way for kids to learn some history, but this book felt rushed in the final chapters, as if a publishing deadline loomed.

Great book to introduce young children to history.
