I read this book at the insistence of my son, who had read it and wanted to discuss it. He's a rising sixth grader with similar reading preferences to others his age, mainly fantasy and mythology. This book appeals to anyone in that age range with those interests because it explores the idea of the possibility of actually experiencing time travel.

In reality, as an adult, my perspective was that this book was basically a discussion of various paranormal experiences and visions/ dreams but through the perspective of time travel. In that sense, it was a fascinating book, looking at phenomena through a different viewpoint and perspective than the usual and helping you think about it from another dimension or angle. But ultimately, all the experiences in the book fall under the category of paranormal: nobody really knows what caused them or what they really were, and some of them should be viewed with some skepticism.

Also as an adult I felt it was kind of silly how the author pretends to very seriously walk kids through the process of preparing for time travel and what to do if time travel actually occurs.
