This is a fiction/nonfiction combination book about Ancient China. There is a fiction story about siblings time traveling and there are facts about Ancient China on every page. The fiction story is too similar to the other book in the series. I don't like the fact that the author doesn't explain how the characters from different times and different countries can understand each other. I understand magic, but I think the language barrier needs to be addressed. The facts about Ancient China interfere with the flow of the story instead of helping it along. I wasn't impressed with any facts until I got to the one about kites near the end. That was great. I also feel like the author may be insulting the intelligence of the intended audience occasionally. The readers probably don't need to be told which part is fiction and which is nonfiction. ( )
