10 Second Review
This classic tale from the early 1960's follows the adventures of three children who travel through time and space to save the universe. This book is a Newbery Medal winner.

However…this is a strange book that may not be well received by young readers. Highly regarded and groundbreaking when new, this book shows it's age.

The writing and timing can feel inconsistent. It may not be as good as you remember.

Notes
One of the ALA top 100 Most Banned/Challenged Books

Learning Curve
Moderate: Good for most new readers but includes some unusual concepts.
