The Time Travelers is about Peter and Kate who are just two normal teens living in Derbyshire, England. When they visit Kate's father's laboratory there is a freak accident with the anti-gravity device and Peter and Kate are knocked unconscious. When they wake up they are in 1792 England and are running for their lives. They meet Gideon, who is a cutpurse and a gentleman and enlist his help to retrieve the time machine that was stolen from them. The time machine is their only way home and they must venture throughout London on a quest to get it back.
This is an excellent book about friendship. At the beginning of the story Peter and Kate can't stand each other, but as they travel throughout London they learn to appreciate each other. They also learn how to trust each other when their lives depend on it. This book also encourages imagination and a sense of adventure. These are both very important parts of growing up and should be encouraged always.
This book sounds like a great read! Just by the short summary I want to read the book. I love stories that have adventure and this book definitely does but what really captured me was how many lessons could be applied to this story and what a child could take from this book.
ReplyDeleteWhen you were talking about this book today, it made me want to read it so badly! Not only is it relatable to Harry Potter, but like you said, it encourages imagination and friendship. I think a great activity for this book would be to ask students if they could travel back in time to any place and any time, what would that place and time be? And why would they chose it?
ReplyDeleteI love books like this! these are fun to read and they keep the children active in the story. it is always fun to see the things children think of when they hear these type of stories!
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a great book also its about teens so it'll be more enjoyable for that generation.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a great story to read aloud during story time! It seems like a fun story for children to actively engage and participate in.
