A wonderful adventure with heart
Derived From Web , Aug 25, 2020
I could see this quirky adventure as a show on Nickelodeon, which I would have watched as a kid definitely. It was great to go back to this mindset! I loved these characters and was emotionally destroyed in chapter 32. I won 't spoil anything, but I was definitely not ready for chapter 32! And my deductions were nowhere near as good as Otto or even the Epic Ellisons'because I guessed wrong about TimeStar's identity. TimeStar's quest was a noble one and it really grounded all the Logan weird bits of the journey. I am emotionally invested in these characters and can not wait for the next adventure!

An Adventure Book for All!
Derived From Web , Aug 21, 2020
We started it pre-COVID, but with soccer and school and weekend activities, we couldn t find time to make it through a few pages. A few weeks ago we returned to it and was an absolute BLAST! My son wanted MORE at the end of each chapter! This is really a timeless book that should become part of the school reading lists. When a children's book has adventure, fantasy, love, life lessons and family and holds the attention of an adult, you know it is good!

Great read for an 8 year old boy !
Derived From Web , Oct 7, 2019
It is a fun and unpredictable start, but once you start it, it is a slow story about 2 boys of color. We have 2 chapters left... because we read at bedtime and my son can 't wait to see what happens to Sheed and Otto.

All kids imagine time stopping.
Derived From Web , Apr 5, 2019
Though the story started a little slow for me, there was no stopping once it took off! There were twists and turns throughout and I didn 't have the ending developed as expected. On their last day of summer, Otto and Sheed are two African American cousins. Not wanting to end their summer, they head out for one more day of detective work for which they are known throughout the county. This will be the longest day of their lives, little do they know! This is a great read for children who like Scififantasy.
