I highly recommend this fantastic book Sullivan, author of The Riyria Revelations "The Time Cavern showcases masterful storytelling that will immediately be passed forward to one of my nephews.
I highly recommend picking up a copy for the young explorers that you love. Pickering, author of Patches of Grey "The Time Cavern introduces us to what might just be the most original time machine concept ever-not to give anything away, but if you're a nut about time-travel, this is worth it for that alone. Knapp, author of Cluck: Murder Most Fowl "Charming is the only word I can think of to describe this book.
The Amish element, the two cute kids, their families, the old barn, and, of course, what they discover in the woods is a compelling blend.

I've really enjoyed both of the books in this series and look forward to reading the next one. The characters are well-developed and likable and the plot is unique for a time-travel story. There was nothing that I found objectionable or even particularly frightening, so I would happily let a pretty young kid read this book, or read it to them. I haven't gotten my 8-ear-old to read these yet, so I'm not sure what a person in the age group they're aimed at would think, but the educational bits are a tad obvious and even a teeny bit overbearing.
I am, however, a year-old woman, not a child, so perhaps a kid wouldn't find them quite so preachy. It didn't interrupt the flow of the stories too much, though, so I still really enjoyed them. I'll check back with my son's opinion after he reads them. As a fourth grader, I remember when "A Wrinkle in Time" was released. That book was an exciting tale that encouraged me to pursue a career in science. Aaron and Jake, two intelligent 10 year olds, venture off into a time travel adventure that will keep year olds mesmerized.
