If I where about 2 years younger I would love this book a lot more but over all it was a good funny book with lots of action.

I thought the boys in this story were pretty clever. Enjoyed their thought process.

A kids book with a little bit of Quantum Leapish fiction. Two boys use the time machine they bought at a mad scientist's yard sale and become characters in the old west. The dialogue is full of corny cussin and southern drawl but overall this is a fun book. Okay it has a glitch or two, but it is a kids book.
