I have to admit that I am a huge fan of Suzanne Roche. I read her first book in this series " Making it Home (Time to Time, #1) and have been hooked ever since. If anything, this second book in the series is even better than the first one. So much so that I have requested my local library to purchase copies of this series ( they did!) and my 8-year-old son is very keen to read them as he loves history. Suzanne Roche has a way of taking what she has researched about a particular time period and making it believable and accessible to young children in a way that they can enjoy while learning.
Time travel adventure has not ended for Peri, Max, and Henry at all. There is a mysterious book where if you put a particular object on it, you end up in that time period. This time around it is the middle ages and the children learn while trying to figure out how to get back to their own time period. It is so well written and descriptive in such a way that you feel as if you are there with the children. I really would highly recommend this series to any elementary school children who have an interest in history. In fact, I plan to mention this series to my children's school library as I think many children would love this series. Very well done. I can't wait until the next book in the series comes out. I want to thank Suzanne Roche for allowing me to read such an incredible series. I really think it has potential and is a great series.

Overall, I found this book to be a lot of fun to read. The concept is interesting in that it involves modern day children who time travel to different time periods. I found the information simply stated (for children) and accurate. I am always looking for children's books that have a bit of historical fact in them which is why I chose this book. I honestly didn't notice the narrative part as a couple of other reviewers noticed but then I was more involved in the overall story itself which I fully enjoyed. I read this book on my kindle and did find that the photos and illustrations were a bit small so I would recommend to buy this book in paperback to get the full benefit. I am looking forward to the second book in this series (and would love to hear about Peri's adventure during the Salem Witch Trials).
I was also impressed by the attempt to cover the topic of a blended family and the effect on various members involved.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

I have received this book in exchange for an honest review through NetGalley.

The concept is quite unique, I loved this historical integration. Assuming the historical parts are true (I'm Canadian, with very little American history knowledge) I actually felt that I learned something while reading this book.

However, the dialogue was not fun. It was quite choppy and kept flipping tense without much notice. One moment Peri is taking to her brothers, the next she is 'talking' to herself about the past.

The other thing that made this book hard to read was the fast pace the 'background' characters jumped in and out of the story. We hear their names once, their background, and that's it.

The book would be great with a little tidying up. Time travel is always an interesting topic.
