O’Brien, Johnny Day of the Assassins, 201 p. Templar (Candlewick), 2009. $15.99.
Violence: PG (some mild war scenes)
Jack doesn’t enjoy playing war games as much as his friend Angus, but both boys find themselves in the middle of World War I after they uncover a secret laboratory built by Jack’s absentee father and mysterious machine in their own school that has the ability to send people anywhere in time. Is Jack’s father friend or foe? Is Jack being chased or is he being recued? Sometimes when it comes to time, it may be very hard to tell the difference.
Jack never has a chance to rest in this action-filled adventure in time. It will remind fans of Liparulo’s books, but on a slower pace.
