This book is great for read aloud while studying the American Revolution.

A group of kids is teleported back in the past during the American Revolutionary. As the kids encounter the continental army, George Washington, and Hessian soldiers during their journey, they eventually find their way back home. The story is well written and keeps the reader engaged with historical information. One teaching idea of this book is a teacher can use to teach how to identify significant events in the story.

It was cute. Definitely for the younger crowd.

Fun book for upper elementary students!

Book took itself far too serious. There were too many characters that "are only a few yrs older then me". The 10 yr old protagonist acted like he was 40. Worse of all there were pages on end were NOTHING at all happened. Total waste of time.

In this funny and serious book I learned a lot more about the American Revolution.

Very, funny and good story. I reccomend this book for all ages.

Did not finish because he did not like it

5/5stars

I read this with my fourth graders and they LOVED this one, so my review is based on them, as I am obviously not the target demographic as a 25 year old.

They thought this one was SO fun with all of the time travelling, but also all of the fighting and historical context. I think it also really helped them to make connections between what they had been learning about in their social studies unit about the American Revolution as they were obviously learning about the people and seeing the events in chronological order. I thought this book was a lot deeper and harder hitting than a lot of younger kid's books and brought up a lot of good conversations with my kids.

Highly recommend for Elementary School teachers!

Read this one to prep for students' required summer reading assignment. This one is a good step up for students that enjoyed the magic Tree House series.

Time travel for kids. A bit didactic and stilted. Cast too large. Feels like first in a series with lots of revolutionary detail and little romanticising.
