Customer Reviews

Three parts, last part best.

This book is about a cave that three different girls find in three different time periods. The girls are named Woni, Mattie, and Stacy. I think the book is pretty good. My favorite section is about Stacy because she has the most modern equipment. One example that proves that (from page 106): "I am going to personally recommend letting us take records with latex," said Rick. That part is from when the archeologists are looking at the cave. Another one is when Stacy says she wants to go back to her old room with her own telephone.

This book is fast-paced.

This book is about three girls in different time periods. They all find the same cave and they all leave something behind so if people find it they would know someone was already there. I think this book is interesting because it is about three different girls with three different cultures. For example, Woni is Native American, and Mattie was white. What Woni left was three drawings.

A very touching story

Three girls (in the 1700's, 1600's and 1900's) find the same cave and leave something different each time. My evidence is that Woni a Native American left Indian corn and Mattie left a note about being a Vermont settler. Ovecka used a very interesting technique to make you feel sad when the characters felt sad.
