This book was a little too fiction for me. It's about a boy named Dorso who gets his laptop fixed but didn't know it had a time travel chip put inside of it.
It causes a lot of chaos with sending things from the past to present [with the smells and everything] and making Dorso and his friend get caught in events in the past [some of which they could've got killed in]. After everything, (stopping the other fools who had stolen chips from their creator to play with time and possibly mess everything up for the universe) all went back to normal. I felt it was crazy and i really didn't enjoy this book too much even though it seemed interesting

Dorso the main character keeps finding weird things in his locker. He keeps ignoring it because it is not out of the ordinary. Until one day it is out of the ordinary the things that people are putting in his locker are never real just holograms. But this one time it is real, his friend Frank helps him uncover what is making this happen.

I picked up this skinny little book at a booksale at one of the libraries I frequent, saw it was about time travel, and decided to give it a shot.  While I was not really disappointed in the book, that could have been because I wasn’t really expecting much from it in the first place.  The book itself is only 87 pages long and the text is pretty big so I already wasn’t expecting much from the plot.  The characters were kind of boring, being stereotypical static young teen boys.  But it was a pleasant enough way to occupy my brain during my lunch break.

Boys see holograms from the past and future that conflict with their life.

This is a "youth" book. But there are a few unfortunate PG-13 things that the author threw in that didn't need to be there. It just made it seem stupid. It's too bad, because some of his other books are so fantastic.

This was a book I did not see to be interesting, but don't judge a book by it's cover! This was a short, intriguing book. I liked it because as the problems grow, the book makes you start to imagine whats coming up next in the book. The book had a weird mystery-like tone to it. The two main characters were Dorso, a responsible leader; and frank the loose, laid-back type of guy. This would be a good short book for someone who likes to read upcoming-like stories where you can't just preedict what will happen next. So, if you're that type of reader this book is for you.

Intriguing premise: a time-traveling mystery involving middle school kids that starts in the future. One caveat: the author reiterates the sidekick's PG-13 obsession with unclothed females excessively, to such an extent that it's distracting, no longer funny, and increasingly creepy as the story unfolds.

Another great book by Gary Paulsen, book delves into time hacking. Great YA read.

The main character gets sent throughout time and witnesses various scenes of world history, all the while trying to figure out why it is happening to him. It sort of reminded me of Jon Scieszka's Time Warp Trio series, but for teens and without so much zaniness. The book is short and easy to read, though not particularly deep, and should appeal to reluctant readers.
