=================================================================

Name – Blast to the Past

Author- Scott Nickel

Publisher-Stone Arch Books

Illustrator-Steve Harpster

The book’s cover page was a dinosaur chasing David and Ben.When I saw the front page, it was so fun. I got impressed.

I got this book from a kids library. I wanted to read it to know more about  dinosaurs.

The story is about two boys who get a time machine from their uncle and  planned to retake a test, but they traveled a long way back instead.

The characters are David, Ben, Mrs. Franklin and Darrin. David and Ben are  brothers.Mrs.Franklin is their school teacher and Darrin is their Uncle. David and Ben traveled back past few days, in order to retake a test which they failed.

The writing style was very easy to understand. The illustration was so good  and meaningful. My favorite part of the book was when they were trying to escape from the past, a dinosaur took the remote and when they were trying to come back, they traveled to future instead.

After reading the book, I got to know more information about dinosaurs.

If I were one of the characters, I would change the reason for which they used the time machine. I would instead use the time machine to save people from  danger.

The best age group for this book would be from 7 to 10 years

I would give the book 4.5 stars out of 5*
