Personal Reflection:

α Overall, this book was very good…. One of the best science fiction I’ve ever read. Haddix had rounded characters, likable ones, even the villains. I enjoy the fact that Jonah was going through troubles his parents didn’t understand. Katherine was different than the average younger sibling. Every preteen and teen seemed to be having their own identity crises.

Key Plot Elements:

α Time travel

α Saving people of the past

α Friendship

α Trust
