When an advertisement for a TimeQuest II comic with a new no-change feature suddenly flashes before Paul's and Brian's eyes, their only question is How do you mail something to the year 100,000? As soon as they figure that out, they head out on a quest to replace a mint condition Honus Wagner Baseball Card that Brian accidentally destroyed when he was younger. Luckily, they know just where to find it. All they have to do is warp the space-time continuum to the year 1912, board the Titanic, and find Brian's Great Uncle Sean. No problem. But the boys soon find themselves in some sticky situations. Reviews"Definitely writing for readers with short attention spans, Osterweil laces his narrative with middle-grade–style yuks and injects frequent reviews of events into his breathlessly paced tale." "[T]here are a number of funny lines, which, along with the manic illustrations, should keep young readers laughing." |
