Synopsis

When ten-year-old Aaron moved from the big city to the middle of Amish country, he felt transported to a different and simpler time and place. But after finding a faded and long forgotten diary page of a boy gone missing over one hundred years earlier, Aaron began an adventure more wondrous and exciting than he could have ever imagined. Befriended by a local farm girl named Jake, together they search for answers to this century long mystery and uncover the secrets of an astounding cavern that will take them to the edge of time itself.

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
