Jack Christie is back with an explosive mission: Can a teenage time-traveller stop the Second World War from going nuclear?
Quick Summary
If you're a kid who loves history mixed with action, this one's a total blast Jack Christie is a regular teenager who happens to have a time machine, and in this adventure he gets dropped right into the middle of World War II with a seriously tough job: keep the war from going nuclear. The story moves fast and never feels like a history lecture, even though you'll probably pick up a lot about what life was like during the 1940s along the way. There's real tension some close calls with Nazis, narrow escapes, and a few moments that'll make your heart race but it's balanced with Jack's everyday teenage problems like figuring out who to trust when he's miles away from everyone he knows. Reluctant readers tend to gravitate toward this series because the pace never slows down, and fans of adventure stories with a sci-fi twist (think something in the vein of a more action-packed take on historical time travel) will find a lot to love here. Parents can feel good about it too it's exciting and age-appropriate, with nothing too graphic, just good old-fashioned heroic problem-solving and loyalty. If you liked the idea of "Tomorrowland" or enjoy books where kids use brains over brawn to save the day, this is right up your alley.
