This book had a very interesting premise- That there are travelers sent through time to learn the Seven Decisions for Success. This is actually a sequel (I'm under the impression that the first book dealt with the main character David Ponder's travels). In this book, Ponder is chosen to head up a meeting of all the Travelers to help save the fate of the world. The Travelers must find the correct 2 word answer that is the solution to saving humanity from destroying itself (in only 5 tries no less!)

I did enjoy the conversations between Ponder and the famous travelers (Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, etc) and was an interesting way to learn some stories of historical characters with whom I was not familiar. I did feel that the end was a bit anti-climactic. But it was an enjoyable read. I'd be interested in reading the first book!

I recieved a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishing for review.

This book had more heart to it I think than some Patterson books as the main character is a detective with 10 adopted kids and a beloved wife dying of cancer in the hospital. Made me teary more than once!

this series is definitely for younger readers. its in the young adult section, which surprises me, I'd think it would be better in the older elementary/ young middle school age.

Kate DiCamillo is a wonderful storyteller. This is a great readalong book! I "read" it as an audio book- it is the beautiful story of a china rabbit's travels through several different owners and how he learns to love.

Great book! Gives the story of anne Frank and her family through Peter's eyes. The author does a great job of reminding us that this is not just a story, that these things really happened to real people. Good read for many ages- i'm not sure what age this is aimed at, though I think its a young adult book; its not graphic, even in the concentration camp part so I'd say a high school age reader would be good with this one.
