Evocative, stunning writing -- should be a classic
My daughter loved this book so much I read it too. Wonderfully written, suspenseful, mysterious. A terrific heroine who lives in a slightly dangerous urban neighborhood. Her mother particularly came alive for me.

Good intro to more mature topics for tweens
Great book. Gives realistic snapshot of life in NYC. Emphasis on being aware of your surroundings in the city. Some bullying a few quick kisses, brief episode of racism--bring my age rating up. Also, the sci-fi parts can be difficult to understand (more so than in A Wrinkle in Time).

Cool Time Travel!!!!!!!!
I think that this book is a great book for older kids. I am 8 and this book was one of my favorite books.
It excites you more with each chapter. In the end the whole story ties together, it all makes sense for every bit of the story.
I have read many, many books and I have never encountered one like this. This book I never wanted to put down. At bedtime sometimes all I would think about was the mysteries in this book.
This book is advanced and might be confusing for kids under 10 because of the content. It has phrases that might make you ponder and that younger kids might not understand.
It has some iffy content though. In one part, Miranda and Colin kiss and one of Marcus's friends yells "What the h-!@#". There is also some violence that may get intense. But otherwise this book is a five star story!!!!
