Terra Tempo: The Academy of Planetary Evolution
Ride along with the Time Explorers in their third adventure!
The third volume in the Terra Tempo graphic novel series starts off with a big bang as the series’ intrepid heroes, Jenna, Caleb, and Ari race from the Cenozoic era to the modern age, making their way through the evolution of mammals. They will finally earn their degrees from the Academy of Planetary Evolution and be considered full-fledged Time Explorers. But when the Bone Wars of the late 1800s threaten to break over to the modern age, and Ari has been taken in for questioning, the kids find themselves in a fight alongside some of history’s most notable natural historians, including Herman Melville, Annie Montague Alexander, and Andrew Carnegie. They must race to ensure the safety of the world’s history—and its future.

The adventure of a lifetime for Jenna, Caleb, & Ari. They unlock the secret of time travel & journey back 15,000 yrs. to come across the great Missoula Floods of the Ice Ages thanks to Uncle Al’s maps.
The bunch of kids & adults tour museums, attend seminars & meet very interesting PPL who are employed in these areas of expertise.
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
Thank you for the cool postcards.
A very awesome book cover, explicit colorful graphic pictures galore, & great font & writing style. A very well written delightful intriguing educational cartoon style children’s time travel book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s time travel movie, animated cartoon, PP presentation or mini TV series (A & E, History channel). A delight for MS age kids. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.
Thank you for the free Goodreads paperback book
