The time riders must go back to when the change was made and correct it if they want their world to stay the same.
Opinion:
I thought that this was a good book overall. As far as I know, A. Scarrow came up with a completely original idea and made it into an amazing book. It was easy to identify with the characters; I can see some of the same qualities in myself and my friends. The vocabulary was challenging enough to make the book seem like it was written for teenagers, but not so challenging as to discourage readers. I would definitely recommend this book to. I have a lot of friends who are in to science fiction novels and would enjoy reading through this book just as much as I did. Id love to see what Scarrow would do with a sequel of this book.
