Ever since Corey Fletcher found out that he's the world's first "throwback," with the power to not only visit history, but change it, he's been spending as much time in the past as possible. Corey loves using his skills to fix problems and help his friends and family. But as Corey becomes more and more addicted to rewriting history, he learns that time travel might change him in ways he may never be able to reverse.
Aware now that he can't keep going into the past forever, Corey decides to use the trips he still has to change history in the most meaningful way he can imagine: by stopping Adolf Hitler. But when Corey travels back to World War II-era Germany, he quickly learns that the forces of history are strong and that it's going to take a lot more than his good intentions to turn back the tides of evil-or even to survive them.
Get ready for time-warping adventure with a historical twist in the second book of the Throwback trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Peter Lerangis, whose books have sold over five and a half million copies worldwide.
Was very slow at the beginning, but picked up once they were travelling. Does have a HUGE cliffhanger at the end.
This is a fun opening to a trilogy about a kid who can travel through time and also change history. Some of the dialogue was a bit disjointed and awkward, but overall the plot was highly engaging and kept you turning pages as fast as possible to find out how the story would end. There are often gaps and unresolved issues in time travel books, but this one makes sense and is believable even with characters transforming into animals... A great book to recommend to students who enjoy action and adventure. I'm looking forward to reading the next book that comes out in May.
