Review
Fantasy book for middle elementary through middle school age. This book has it all...dinosaurs, time travel, Galileo, a Chinese alchemist, a Russian dog, etc. It is fast paced and may be confusing for some. I have not read any other books from this series so that may be why it seemed confusing to me. The story centers around Dak Smyth and Serae Froste who are trying to fix the Great Breaks in History so that history can unfold as it is meant to be. The idea that history is brought to life is great because it may encourage the child to go on reading about the various historical topics brought forth. A few things that jarred me a bit were Dak and Serae getting into physical fights, a dog being kicked and Galileo called a "player." Good to excellent. Boy and Girl. Very sturdy binding. Will hold up well even in a book bag.
Overall Book Score: excellent
