Ugh. This book was awful. Next in my stack of books from a 1980s grade school, I didn't actually read this one when I was a kid. In fact, I'm not sure I even remember it. BUT...I went to a pretty conservative and not so wealthy grade school and this book has a lot of strong language so my librarian probably banned it or decided it wasn't worth spending the funds on in the first place.

Language isn't it's only downfall, though. The story was just super dumb---there's no other way to put it. Zillions of loopholes and the mother is more moronic than is humanly possible (though she suddenly becomes "with it" in the end...)

Speaking of the end...all the story lines that an interested person would be following are wrapped up all hunky-dory like in a vague, unsatisfying paragraph or two before the book's abrupt stop.

For a film version of this that's still kinda cheesy but definitely watchable, look for Split Infinity or, if you can find it, Stranger in Time. Both are early 90s films that feature a young girl traveling back to earlier times.

Clever and original kids' book, the plot is timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly but makes basic sense within the context. Also subtly provides food for thought about the nature vs. nurture debate, in other words, how much of our personality is because of DNA, how much is because of our surroundings, how much is personal choice? When a kids' book can bring up things like that in a natural way, it's well written.

Carl and Anna are dreading the summer. Their cousin Bailey is supposed to stay with them and Bailey is not a good kid. They let their friend Ingrid know that the summer will not be a good one. They decide that they will form a club that does not include Bailey, The Vikings.
Bailey comes and doesn't like the fact that the three have formed a club that does not include him. He pulls some pranks on them. They are not pleased.
Bailey stays in the attic with Carl and decides he will draw on the wall, since he does not have a window on his side. The window comes alive and Bailey is able to enter into the world that he has drawn, as if through a window.
The summer becomes more exciting, as Bailey draws more windows and the children travel through. Each one becomes its own adventure.

Fun bit of time travel or maybe more accurately parallel universes. Quick read.
