Product Description

From Booklist

Gr. 3^-5. The Time Warp Trio is back--to the future, this time, as Joe, Fred, and Sam travel to the year 2095, again courtesy of Uncle Joe's magic book. Launching their trip from the 1920s room in the Natural History Museum, the boys arrive in the future's museum, where they see the 1990s showcased in an exhibit of the past. Such ironies of time travel abound as the three encounter their great-grandchildren, who rightly strive to return their ancestors to the past. Scieszka writes with a kid's perspective at all times, blending a warp-speed pace with humor that ranges from brainy riddles to low brow upchuck jokes. Although the plot is a bit thin and meandering, readers will find sufficient distraction in the robots and levitation footwear of the future. Smith targets the audience equally well with black pencil illustrations brimming with zany, adolescent hyperbole. Julie Yates Walton --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Future Looks Good, Jul 18 2003

By	A. Wolverton (Crofton, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Time Warp Trio 2095 (Paperback)

Scieszka's fifth Time Warp book finds the trio in 2095, thanks of course to Uncle Joe's Magic Book. This marks the first time the trio has ventured into the future rather than the past, and some strange things happen.

Scieszka's stories have a great visual style, which lend themselves to some great illustrations in the book. Things get a little silly, and some of the jokes that run through the book were started in previous books, but '2095' is still loads of fun.
