It was awesome and all but some of the words were confusing ( understand why when/ have read the book) and a tiny little bit was kind of hard to follow, but that's probably because of MY age. It was amazing. ( )

the book starts out with Jonah's and Katherine's time freezing. Then Angela (another person who's time traveled) drives then to Chips only for them to fall through time and end up in 1903. Jonah had Angela's Elucidator, which is now disguised as a compass then Mileva, Einstein's wife, takes the device when Jonah and Katherine were invisible but the thing itself wasn't. in the book the daughter, Lieserl, is sick with scarlet fever and Mileva is going to Novi Sad, where Lieserl is now, taking the educidator with her so Jonah and Katherine follow her. Mileva knows that Jonah and Katherine are invisible and shows she knows how to work the educidator. before then they follow her to her house where they witness gary and hodge kidnapping lieserl and leaving only for a few seconds latter Emily who is Lieserl was sent by JB to, connect, with her tracer as a little girl. Mileva goes into the woods carrying Lieserl and catches Katherine, shut off their invisibility and tries to get them to explain everything, but they don't. Lieserl faints and her father get a search party the find Lieserl because Emily, disconnected, with her. they stay in the trees for hours till they stop searching, when Jonah comes down Lieserls grandfather stays and chases him till he was cornered and then Jonah figures out that he was invisable again and meets up with Emily and Katherine and they all go back to Milevas house and try to talk with her only for her to make them go forward in time and end up freezing there as well. they try to get time moving again and Jonah accidentally makes it so they go to the time hollow (a place where there is no running time) and they find JB and Hadley frozen. Mileva freezes Emily, Katherine and Jonah with the educidator then makes it show her the future of her, along with Emilys past. she unfreezes Jonah to help her set time right and they go back in time a forge Einstine's writing style and give him the correct papers. They go to Einstine and give the papers to him and time going on. Jonahs leave the Educidator with Mileva incase she needs it. when Jonah goes back to the time hollow JB and the rest of them are unfrozen and they quickly try to get Jonah and Katherine back to the time. Jonah's teacher MR.Stanley give a phone back to him because he though it was his, but it was just the educidator in disguise, and they chat a little. After he leaves, JB gets Jonah to show what Mileva did with the educidator. she went to Einstiens deathbed and tells him everything that happened those years ago when there daugther Lieserl died and tells him about time travle. The book ends with revealing JB real identity as Tete Einstein. The book ends with JB and Jonah having a talk and understanding each other better.

IN my opinion, this books deserves more then just five stars. The are still three more books to read in this series but this one was the most descriptive, perfectly timed, Adventurous BOOK SO FAR!!! Keeping so hidden and yet showing so much, add more questions to what could actually be done and changing what decisions we have, and instead of opposing fate, joining it so elsewhere! I don't know if this is what the author intended but this is what i could see. not to mention on my own theory's on time travel are starting to mach up with this toward the end showing that i didn't just make stuff up when someone else is also doing it so thats is awesome. i found no errors in this book with anything among the story line, they way i could just picture it all in my head like a well thought out movie. she didn't get too descriptive nor did she not describe it enough, JUST PERFECT!!!! All the best books have something like that but i haven't seen it in all the books I read aside from this series! JB it Albert Einsteins son? HOW INCREDIBLE!!! the way Mileva knew how to work the educidator in such a short time and somehow understanding time travel later, that really showed her character! AMAZING!!! At some points I wish this was real. gotta say thought, reading this series got me more interested in history. ( )
