Reviews

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

silliness but humorous, fun characters, confusing plot

[Marcia Lupinetti · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entertaining and fun to read.

[Emily · Rating 1 out of 5]

Way too much going on, and yet still manages to be boring. My 3rd grader liked it fine, but I was happy to finish this one so we could move on to something else.

[Jonathan H. · Rating 2 out of 5]

I haven't read the first two in this series, but read this because I've been on a time travel kick lately. So there's definitely a lot of backstory that gets referred to that I've missed. The time travel is kind of all over the place, and it's meant to be kind of wacky rather than a consistent timeline of any sort. Probably would have enjoyed more if I read the others first; the writing is okay but not outstanding.

How come Jacob didn't look there before.
