I won a Mobi.file copy of this book from the author through a giveaway she had on LibraryThing a while back and the following is my honest.

Growing up we all can remember the nursery rhymes we got taught, like the one which states that boys are made of: Frogs and snails and puppy-dogs' tails, and the girls are made of: Sugar and spice and all things nice. Perhaps that partly explains the difference between Brock [with his explosive behavior] and his sister Brenda [with her compassionate behavior].

His parents, and especially his sister are all concerned about what will happen if he doesn’t stop acting the way he does. Brenda tells Brock about the bad temper time machine which exists in their home, a time machine which made her into the sweet person she is today from being as bad as he is today. Naturally, Brock own imagination won’t allow him to believe such a fantastic story, and he continues acting the way he’s always action, despite his best not to act like this.

All of sudden, Brock begins to feel being transported into the past and made to do chores which are far more easier to do today than they had been back then. Each time this happens and he grows tired from doing them he finds himself back home. Eventually, after a few trips he begins to show changes until he gets cured from his old explosive bad temper ways to become as kind and considered as his sister Brenda.

You have to love how the author, Carrie Lawrence, uses her subliminal style of writing to communicate the message located between the words and lines of this book, regarding the possible consequences of what will happen if her young readers don’t change the way they behave. Adding to this is the rhymical writing which captures and hold her reader’s attention, much is the same manner all the Dr. Seuss books I read as child.

For wanting to transform her readers behavior or preventing from starting to act in the manner Brock used to be like, I’ve given Ms. Lawrence 5 STARS for her efforts here. ( )
