From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8?This absorbing novel develops an unusual premise into the gripping story of a young girl's efforts to save her family and friends from a deadly disease. Jessie Keyser, 13, believes that the year is 1840. In truth, she and her family, along with a small group of others, live in a reconstructed village viewed by unseen modern tourists and used as an experimental site by unethical scientists. Jessie discovers the truth when her mother asks her to leave the village and seek medical help for the diptheria epidemic that has struck the children of the community. Jessie must cope with the shock of her discovery; her unfamiliarity with everyday phenomena such as cars, telephones, and television; and the unscrupulous men who are manipulating the villagers. The action moves swiftly, with plenty of suspense, and readers will be eager to discover how Jessie overcomes the obstacles that stand in her way. While she is ultimately successful, the ending is not entirely a happy one, for several children have died and others are placed in foster care to await resolution of the complex situation. This realistically ambiguous ending reflects the author's overall success in making her story, however far-fetched, convincing and compelling. Haddix also handles characterization well; even secondary characters who are somewhat sketchily drawn never descend into stereotype. This book will appeal to fans of time-travel or historical novels as well as those who prefer realistic contemporary fiction, all of whom will look forward to more stories from this intriguing new author.?Lisa Dennis, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

From AudioFile

Running Out of Time is a clever play on the idea of Williamsburg or any other community where actors bring history to life. Except in Clifton, Indiana, some of the people aren't acting. The children, who have lived in Clifton all their lives, really believe it is 1840. Narrator Kimberly Schraf has the voice of a favorite teacher, promising wonders and enchantments as she reads Jessie's riveting story. M.C.

This review is from: Running Out of Time (Paperback)
The book is really interesting because it talks about the past where the main character is thought to believe that it's the 1800's and not 1996.It gets better as you go on because Diptheria spreads around the reservation where she lives killing friends.As you go, you learn new things that you hadn't known before.She goes through a lot of things in her journey because she's sent to look for a doctor to cure the people.At the end she saves all the people in the reservation.

4.0étoiles sur 5 i wish i could give it a 4.5, Mai 3 2004
This review is from: Running Out of Time (Paperback)
loved this book. it has a great concept, a fantastic story line, but the charecters could use some developing. running out of time could be longer, and that would only make it better. though, i must admit it had me thinking about whether or not it's really 2004 or not, who knows? maybe we live in a tourist attraction, and out side this little experimental world, there are aleins living in 4011? anyway, but this book, it wouldn't be a waste of money.

This review is from: Running Out of Time (Paperback)
Thirteen-year-old Jessie thinks that she lives in the year 1840. All her life she has lived without electricity or any other modern items. But, when children begin dying of diphtheria, her mother reveals the truth-it is 1996.

Not knowing what even a lightbulb or a car is, Jessie must sneak out of their colony to the modern world and start a press conference.

Once you begin this book, you can't put it down and it has a great plot. I recommend it for children anywhere from the grades 5-7.
