Thank you to the publishers, author and NetGalley for the free copy of this book.

This was an intriguing read. Time travel is always an interesting premise, and this had a lot of potential. Some minor annoyances, but over all I would say give this a try!

This was a really interesting story. It was a little annoying when the author keep repeating things that we already knew, but all in all it was a good story. If you enjoy time traveling, you might want to try this one.

Thank you Bob Avey, Black Rose Writing and Netgalley for the ARC.

First, the good: I was intrigued by the mystery of who the doctor was, just what was going on and why. The subject matter ends up being based on experiences that people have in reality reported. It's important for such information to keep being put out, even if in fiction form, so that such things can be made mainstream, and stopped.

The bad: One of my pet peeves with novels is when things in the book are repeated, especially within the same chapter. It seems insulting to the readers intelligence, even when a book is for middle grade or teens, as this one seems it might be. Children often don't get into the habit of learning to have good memories if they think that things will be repeated. This book also has a lot of telling, instead of showing. There's little to no indication of how characters are feeling, especially when it comes to their facial expressions. Some of the dialogue is clumsy and seems unnatural. I was only able to make it about halfway through the book.

I'm surprised that on the cover, this book is compared to two classics, Tuck Everlasting and A Wrinkle in Time. Both are written far better.
