Synopsis

The Mystery began a hundred years ago. It was never solved. Now it's happening again. ABOUT THE BOOK When ten-year-old Aaron moved from the big city to the country, he thought it was a boring sleepy town. Then he met Jake, a know-it-all farm girl who said his house was haunted. She claimed an Amish boy disappeared without a trace after hearing the wind call his name. Aaron thought she was just trying to scare him...until the night he heard his own name in the wind. REVIEWS "Wow! What a terrific book - especially for young adult readers. What more could you ask for? Mystery, time travel, history - all rolled into one heck of a yarn." - Joseph Perrone Jr, author of As the Twig is Bent "THE TIME CAVERN will stimulate and captivate the imagination of young readers, girls and boys alike. I urge parents and teachers to add this book to their libraries." - D. B. Pacini, author of The Loose End of the Rainbow "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." - Roy L. Pickering, author of Patches of Grey

About this title

Review:

Fonseca has a talent for appealing to a young audience in the use of his subject matter-.independence, moving to a new home, making friends, being afraid, exploration, and the use of the imagination, etc. Outside of the young boy-s adventures the author also uses a nice mix of dialog to keep his story moving, evenly exposing the reader to other characters including Aaron-s parents.

Todd Fonseca-s book is an adventure story that both kids and adults will love. It feeds the imagination, just as the tale itself builds upon the eagerness of its characters to solve the mystery. Fonseca-s main characters, Aaron and Jake, are believable and come alive on the page through their real-life dialog and eagerness to learn the truth. The author does a great job of keeping the momentum going with nicely paced conflict and interest, which will definitely keep the pages turning. -- Shannon Yarbrough - lulubookreview

[The Time Cavern] reminded me of Madeleine L'Engel's sci-fi/science-themed children's books - an intelligent youth literature combination of adventure, fantasy and science. -- Aileen Cho - Associate Editor, McGraw-Hill
