Summary: Great and Scary
Comment: Review by Savannah, age 8. I recently read Running Out Of Time. After I read it I thought I would never read another book besides that one again. But of course I did. I think this book is wonderful because it is exciting, suspenseful and interesting. I felt like I was with Jessie, or even her. It also has a great plot, which starts it off well. This is the plot: Jessie Keyser lives with her family in a town named Clifton in 1849- she thinks, until her mother tells her the truth. They live in a reconstructed town made to look old fashioned. And it is really 1996, and the town they live in is a tourist sight! Jessie's mother shared this surprising secret because the children in their town are getting a deadly disease and Jessie is expected to go out into the real world and bring back help and medicine. With a mix of finding out a man is planning a murder, and a child calling a press conference, this book is definitely one of the best books in the world. I give this book 5 stars and it sure deserves it! P.S. Warning! This is a Scary book! But it is so good! If you do not read it you are missing out.

Summary: Excellent book for young people!
Comment: I and my daughter both enjoyed this book. It's hard to find good science fiction for teens - this is one of the best I've read.
Thirteen year old Jessie lives in 1840 - she thinks. When diphtheria strikes her small village, her mom tells her the truth : it's really 1996 in the rest of the world, and their village is part of an experiment. Jessie must go for help, into the confusing and frightening modern world.
This book is well written, with a fast paced story that should grab the readers attention quickly and hold it. The one criticism - where's the sequel???
I strongly recommend this book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Intriguing
Comment: I read this book in a teachers' reading club at the middle school where I teach. We read school library books so as to be able to recommend books to our students. This is a book I have recommended and each student who has read it has been very enthusiastic about it. This, however, is not why I am writing this review. I think this book would make an interesting movie.
If the author is reading this, have you ever considered making it into a movie? Thanks for a good read. Keep up the good work.
