Mary (age 9) writes: This book features excitement, danger, and time-traveling. Sera, Riq, and Dak have visited Paris during its siege in the 800s. They have to escape from a Time Warden and fix history. Along the way, will they find Dak's parents? (You will have to read to find out....) My favorite character was the Viking warrior named Rollo; he had a dog named Vigi. This book is as good as the first book in the series, and maybe even better!Cindy (the mother, older than 9!) writes: This book builds on the first book in the series. While it can be read independently, the story will be more meaningful if the reader has first read the first book in the series. (Also helpful is visiting the website to gain information about the French Revolution story.)There are some differences between the first book in the series and this one. First, the characters do not appear in "modern times" at all, and there is no direct contact between the three heroes and the modern-day "Hystorians." Second, the book is written by a different author, though the tone and style is similar. Third, this book covers some historical events that are less famous than those discussed in the first book; in addition, the heroes spend a significant amount of time in two different historical periods, with a brief stop in two others. Fourth, the heroes in this book are forced to make decisions when the correct choices are less obvious than in the first book.I liked the first book better because the story was more straight-forward and easy to follow (Save Christopher Columbus). That being said, this second story is more sophisticated, with multiple layers of adventure, problems, and meanings.
