Excellent !!
An adventure of a lifetime
A digital copy of this title was given to me, free, in exchange for my honest opinion.
This was a pretty quick read. While a middle grade novel about time travel is not completely original, Gutmand makes it his own. Luke, Julia, David and Isabel are approached by a stranger and is given 4 $5 bills and an invitation. This leads them to a meeting with Chris Zandergoth and presented with an opportunity for an adventure of a lifetimes. They accept and travel back to November 18,1863. They are given the task of getting a picture of Abraham Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address. Gutman keeps the reader engaged by allowing for the unplanned to happen. Despite every attempt to not to, the Flashback Four finds themselves in a situation that they may not be able to get out of. They quickly realize that they are in over their heads and that they may be stuck in 1863 forever. Really, the only downside is that the story ends on a cliffhanger. It was nice to go back in history and see it as if it was the present. This is a book that I would recommend to upper elementary/lower middle school, to teachers who wants a fun way to introduce this part of history to their students, and to kids who enjoy or are interested in history and time travel.

I thought itâd be good, but it wasnât
Iâm a fan of Dan Gutmanâs Weird School series so this was a must-read. I thought itâd be good, but it wasnât. It was great! Funny, but sophisticated. Itâs the first book in his new series, and the next 2 are already out. The series starts like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with four kids receiving letters. They meet Chris Zandergoth, a computer genius who dreams of getting a picture of Lincoln making the Gettysburg address. None exists. Really! Chris preps the kids with Civil War clothes and phrases before sending them back in time. She chooses kids because they donât get in trouble the way adults do. The storyâs funny, but not wacky. The end pages tell you whatâs not true, which is the opposite of most nonfiction. I like knowing Lincolnâs part in the story is true. Time travel, of course, isnât. Dan summarizes the address writing, âWithout saying it out loud, Lincoln was about to say to the the crowd- and to the nation- that America could have slavery or liberty, but not both. Having liberty doesnât mean you have the liberty to enslave other people.
