Long long ago




Author: Greg Trine

I liked this book better than the 'Dinos are Forever' for its time travel. Pro superhero Jo itches for some action and so does her dog. they time travel to 1850s California. There they are looking to capture Wyatt Burp who causes trouble with his burp. Even though Jo is a superhero, she cant swim. With her sidekick's help she can overcome evil intentions from any era(thats another big concept).
The fog is described as thick as milk shake and peanut butter, which children can relate to. I also like how the concept of tsunami is built from ripple to waves to tsunami even if its a metaphor for the rise of crime. Because the people from a century ago are not familiar with superheroes, they mistake Jo and Raymond for witches which shows how people think in the times they live. Some of this concepts might be big for children to understand but hey dont be surprised if they give their explanations.
