The Time Travelers (Book One in the Gideon Trilogy)

 The Time Travelers(America) or Gideon the Cutpurse (England)
                                Author: Linda Buckley-Archer
                                Publisher: Aladdin Paperbacks


   The first book in the Gideon Trilogy, The Time Travelers is a pretty good book.

 
    It is about two twelve-year-olds, Peter Schock and Kate Dyer. THey were helping Kate's dad with his friend's science experiment when they got sent back in time to 1763 England. Along the way they meet: Gideon Seymour, Cutpurse and Gentleman; The Tar Man, THe Honerable Mrs. Byng, Lord Luxon, and King George. (among many others.)

      The book was good, but I found a few errors that bothered me, probably because I was studying grammar this year. The book is very long, and chapters can be over 30 pages. I found I could only read two to three chapters every night, which bugged me since I like to finish books in a few days or a week.

                                                             Rating: (out of five)3 stars
                                                            Suggested age: 10 and up
                                                            Warning: Some swears that were not considered bad in 1763
