Here is a book that I read last year that I am sure you will enjoy as I did. This is an interesting book. It is your classic time travel book where people go back in time. The biggest twist in this one is a the young boy doesn't return with the others when they are rescued. He is left centuries before his time alone. He grows up to be an adult always hoping they will come back for him. Meanwhile the others immediately come back but to the wrong time and find him as an adult. How will they figure it all out? You'll just have to read to find out. This is a trilogy and it all gets figured out with many twists you will never see coming in three books. As a side note, if you like history you will absolutely love this book as it is a historical fiction based in England. Enjoy and here is a brief overview of the book. I included 2 book covers as it has changed since the first release. I actually like the art work of the new books better than the first release.
Two twelve year-old children are the innocent victims of NASA-funded research into anti-gravity and dark matter that goes terribly wrong
.
Peter Schock and Kate Dyer are catapulted back to 18th century England where they have to survive highwaymen, cutpurses, thief-takers and ... The Tar Man
An encounter with an anti-gravity machine catapults Peter Schock and Kate Dyer back to the 18th century and sets in motion a calamitous chain of events.
While a massive police hunt gets underway to find the missing children in the 21st century - in 1763 a hardened criminal, the Tar Man, steals the anti-gravity machine and disappears into the London underworld.
Stranded in another time and forced to chase the Tar Man to his lair, Peter and Kate find a friend and guide in reformed cutpurse, Gideon Seymour. Gideon does every thing he can to help them, but will his dark past catch up with him before the machine is recovered?
The first book in a fast-paced series, The Time Travelers is a thrilling new adventure that is set in a world of highwaymen, thieves and cutpurses. As Peter and Kate explore the awesome possibilities of time travel they find themselves wondering whether it might be mankinds worst nightmare.

OHHH. This sounds like a really good one. I've been out of the classroom for two years. Among my top 5 things that I miss is the 'book nook networking' with my students. They were voracious readers, and we always shared good books with eachother. Now, when I do have time to read, I don't know what to read! I hope you keep this blog going after our Tech class ends.
