I believe I picked this up in a Little Free Library. I don't think it would have popped up on my radar otherwise. A Scholastic book, this is about 5th grade level (that's the age of the MC). My "Middle Grade May" is giving me "permission" to read some of these books for younger readers. While this did feel elementary/easy and was quick/short, there was enough there that I enjoyed this as an adult. 

I think I've always enjoyed the "time travel" aspect of books ... when someone from today gets transported back into the past. I think it's sometimes easier to connect with that character, seeing the "olden" days through present-day eyes/perceptions. Notice the differences, etc. This was pre-WW1.

As mentioned, I had the physical copy, and was able to borrow audio from the library. There doesn't even seem to be a Kindle copy. There was an author's note in the physical book (not included in audio) that I appreciated. Also included was a glossary of terms and a pronunciation guide.
