Why read it?
1 author picked Partners in Time as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is an engrossing time-slip story with a difference.
Involving two countries, two different timelines, four very different lives, and the English royal family in the Second World War, I was taken by the way the narrative interchanges seamlessly between the 1941 and 2022 time periods to create an action-filled MG story.
The completely different character arcs of two boys who form a strong bond, taking two others along with them, are compelling. I also love the way the historical information side is well researched, providing knowledge I didn’t previously have.
From Debra's list on time-slip adventures for middle graders.
