Excellent Satire on Media Monopolies

RACING THROUGH THE TIMES is an excellent young adult novel about how one person can control the collective thought of a country's citizens with the right media control. In this book, the 2nd in the Lightbringer Series by Ron DeBoer, Sarah and Dillon, a brother and sister, travel into a newspaper they find in their basement. To their surprise, they find out they can move forward and backward in history and can change world events! The villain is Comrad Zwart, who I think is a parody on Canadian newspaper baron Conrad Black, who is trying to buy up all the world's newspapers and re-name them The Times. Like the first novel in the Lightbringer Series--Returning Light to the Wind--this novel contains an interesting quest, many obstacles, and more importantly, key pieces to the puzzle Sarah and Dillon begain with their first adventure. The Lightbringer books are very much patterned after C.S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles. Racing Through the Times seems like a contemporary Magician's Nephew when the characters put on rings and end up in an in-between place before going off to interesting worlds. In Racing Through the Times, every time Sarah and Dillon plunge into a new paper, they find themselves on a mountain, looking into the valley where the new world exists like a city. I found a website on the Internet which gives sample chapters--just do a search on Wiindmill Press and go to the sample chapters page.
