I first downloaded a sample from Amazon, out of curiosity. The first paragraph got me hooked......so I bought the book. Todd tells me he's marketing it for the 9-12 yr old set......(correct me if I'm wrong here) and I think its perfect for them. Its also a great 'light' read for an adult.
So, my own quick thoughts. Written from a 10yr olds point of view, "Time Cavern" tells the adventures of two friends trying to unravel the mystery of a boy who went missing 100 years past. How they go about it, and what they learn along the way makes the story move right along.
Mr. Fonseca throws in a LOT of information about different cultures, (Amish), science (gasses and what they do) responsibility, even astronomy, weaving it all seamlessly into an interesting story that should hold the interest of any young science fiction fan. I guess thats what I like best about this book. By the time a young person has finished it, he'll come away with more than just a good read. He'll come away knowing a little more about the real world. And thanks to the great ending, he'll be looking forward to more adventures with Aaron and Jake.
Here's wishing success for you, Mr. Fonseca!  |
