” The whole point of Tripp in Time is: When you live your life and you have regrets about something that you did or some decision that you made, and things don’t turn out right, you have this regret that you wish you could go back and change time. But, I don’t believe if you could go back and change time that it would always work out for the best. I think what happens, happens, and that it’s best to live in the moment and not to reflect on the mistakes made in the past.” Matt Stewart

Tripp in Time

This story would be a good introduction for mid teens into the time travel type series. Young people will find it an easy adventure to read. At times it became confusing but usually ended up explaining what and why things happened the way they did. Using the Kansas City background was an interesting part of the story.
