But bad guy Randall is still following them… Will they finally get some answers about this mysterious bad guy? Newly independent readers will eat up this time-travel series from New York Times bestselling author, Wendy Mass!
{My thoughts} – Time Jumpers is such a fun series. It reminds me a lot of the Ranger in Time books. It’s just a little different, due to it’s children and people being sent back in time instead of just an animal.
The illustrations within the pages of this book help to add to the wonderfulness of the story. I love how they go hand and hand and have the ability to help keep the child engaged in what they are reading or being read. It is always fun to have a visual of what you are reading, even if it isn’t quite the same as you’ve imagined yourself.
Chase and Ava get to go back to the time of the dinosaurs. Chase is the most excited. While they are there, they have another encounter with Randall who once again tries to stop them from placing the object back into it’s correct timeline. They however, are able to come to an agreement and then Randall goes on his way.
Both Chase and Ava are hoping this will be the end of Randall stopping or trying to stop them from replacing objects. However, only time will tell if that is or is not the case. I look forward to seeing what their next adventure is going to be, as this was a fun book to read and so far I have really enjoyed the series in a whole. I cannot wait until my little ones are ready to read these or have them read to them!
Final Conclusion: 5 Star Rating.
