The Time Travelers (The Gideon Trilogy) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very good book for both 10-15 years olds and adults who enjoy historical fiction. Well written with entertaining, fresh characters and a fast pace. However, it is the same book as the hardcover "Gideon the Cutpurse". I think the title and the style of the hardcover did not appeal to younger readers so it has been repackaged and retitled for paperback. Do not get confused that this is the second book in the proposed Gideon Trilogy as a few reviewers apparently did. Look closely at the cover of this book and it says "previously published as Gideon the Cutpurse". Also at the end of the hardcover version of this book it says the second of the trilogy will be called "The Tar Man", it is not, so this has apparently been changed as well. Still highly recommended however.

Previously published as GIDEON THE CUTPURSE 1763 Gideon Seymour, thief and gentleman, hides from the villainous Tar Man. Suddenly the sky peels away like fabric and from the gaping hole fall two curious-looking children. Peter Schock and Kate Dyer have fallen straight from the twenty-first century, thanks to an experiment with an antigravity machine. Before Gideon and the children have a chance to gather their wits, the Tar Man takes off with the machine -- and Peter and Kate's only chance of getting home. Soon Gideon, Peter, and Kate are swept into a journey through eighteenth-century London and form a bond that, they hope, will stand strong in the face of unfathomable treachery.
