The Minuteman Project is the first book in the five-part Timeline series. For eight years, Francis has been held captive by a power-hungry pharmaceutical company that uses orphaned children as lab rats to test their cutting-edge drugs. When Francis and his friends, Will and Jessica, make a daring escape, they find that the drugs they've been subjected to have given them extraordinary abilities, including time-travel. Can they learn to harness their powers and return to the present, in order to free the other children? Or will they remain tossed about on the endless timeline of their lives?
This book was truly amazing. Even when I felt I needed to stop reading, I was not able to because I was wanting to see what happened next. I have read the Hunger Games and this book is ranked up there if not better. I feel it has so much more depth to it, and can not wait until the the second book comes out. Timeline: Journey to Skeleton Island. I bet this book is going to so rock. I hope this hits the movie theaters, it has so much information, the movie will be HUGE.
I became attached to the characters in this book! I can't wait to see what happens to them in the sequel. I love the author's spin on the "King Arthur" aspect of the story, but he keeps the modern elements very vivid during the action that happens in the past. Great read and appropriate language and action for teens too.
