No idea Cara--but when this is found it'll be joining my collection of ya books through the ages (the oldest are from the 30's and the newest just came out this year.) I like them because when written in the time they depict, they show the changing mores better than anything else does. I made my daughter read them, and she did the same thing with her boys--it's one way to make sure that an understanding of the differences in the way that life is viewed in various time periods is achieved. The reason that I have that diverse a collection--my Mum did the same thing to me. :o)

Can we eliminate Time Trap by Margo Sorenson which is about preventing the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.? "Two school enemies forced to work together on a report about the 1960s become trapped in that time period when they begin their research."

Edie (auntedie) | 29 comments There is a GR list of 1990s YA time travel books with 100 books on it. Maybe seeing the cover or reading the title will help?

Following up on Aunt Edie's suggestion, here are a few Goodreads Lists:

Children's Time Travel Fiction of the 1980s = https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

Children's Time Travel Fiction of the 1990s = https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...


At the top of the desktop website, I clicked "Browse" then "Lists" in the drop-down menu. Then entered "ya 1990s time travel" in the Search Lists box to the right.

Ingo (ilembcke) | 669 comments The others in the Justin Duval series are just as good, with Virtual Sexuality even filmed as a UK TV-Movie (I think, DVD available in the UK) with Laura Fraser.

From the 4 books in the series for some reason only three are available as an ebook (just checked).
Bought them again a few months ago for a re-read, as the used paperbacks I managed to get are somewhere buried in my bookcases.

YES!!! Thank you so much!"


No problem, I remember it as the copy I had, had a memorable cover and I had problems ordering my original copy, so it stuck in my mind!
