Bike of Wonders!!!!

I am currently reading this novel. This is a great book and should have been a Newbery candidate!!!!

The Time Bike

Well The Time Bike is a great book to read in your spare time since its short but still I may be wrong ,right?If your 9,10,or 11 this book would be great for you.It might not be better then Jane Langton's other books like The Fledgling but i may be wrong I havn't read it yet but I am!I dont really want to give the book away but ill say one thing so im warning you if you dont want to know STOP READING NOW!Well if you choose to listen here it goes, dont say I didnt warn you:Eddy gets a bike and its a time bike.Since I dont want to tell everthing about the book and ruin it hmmm...thats all folks.Haha!Well for the One sentence 9 words summary.Haha!Ive got one more thing to say though.If you look I gave this book 5 stars because I like time well not like how I like math,science,and school.But time traveling would be how should I say this.....FUN!Not that I tried it but theres not a lot of time traveling in the book.The books about... at least I think its about a boy who gets a bike and finds out the bike is special very special and he wants to to change the world and history!Just read the book alredy!

charming and thought provoking

While not as wonderful as Diamond in the Window and the novels that follow (Swing in the Summerhouse, Astonishing Stereoscope, Fledgling, Fragile Flag) this is nonetheless a lovely, funny, thoughtful book and a worthwhile continuation in the saga of the eccentric Hall family of Concord, MA. I'm not sure how well it stands alone. The entire series is best appreciated in relation to the other novels (why, why, why doesn't the publisher put out a boxed set of paperbacks for the current genenration? )However, my children and I enjoyed it immensely, and we all hope against hope that Mrs. Langton will write more books in the series. They even inspired us to go to Concord for our spring break vacation last year!
