The Time Travelers: Volume Two

Time Travelers #3-4

by Caroline B. Cooney

Annie Lockwood is testing Time. She asks to travel back a hundred years to 1899, when her beloved Strat is in Cairo. But in what feels like a cruel joke, Annie is transported to ancient Egypt instead, thousands of years before Strat was born.

Powerless, Annie and Strat both look to Time. Can its force, which brought them together once, help them find each other again?

About the author

Caroline Cooney knew in sixth grade that she wanted to be a writer when "the best teacher I ever had in my life" made writing her main focus. "He used to rip off covers from The New Yorker and pass them around and make us write a short story on whichever cover we got. I started writing then and never stopped!"
When her children were young, Caroline started writing books for young people -- with remarkable results. She began to sell stories to Seventeen magazine and soon after began writing books. Suspense novels are her favorites to read and write. "In a suspense novel, you can count on action."
To keep her stories realistic, Caroline visits many schools outside of her area, learning more about teenagers all the time. She often organizes what she calls a "plotting game," in which students work together to create plots for stories. Caroline lives in Westbrook, Connecticut and when she's not writing she volunteers at a hospital, plays piano for the school musicals and daydreams!

Just like the first time.

Loved the Time Travel quartet in high school and still love reading them again. Wish she'd added more to this series. Would love a better ending to the final chapter in For All Time. Oh well.

Not anywhere close to as good as the first book.

I always enjoy stories about time travel and historical novels, so it was no surprise to like these two interconnecting stories of Volume One and Two. The way the characters went through time was different from other stories, and seemed to have a mindful purpose. The characters from both centuries seemed realistic, and their opinions of the other's times were in some instances surprising. Even though the young female character of the late19th century learned to be more independent from the 20th century character she also had some interesting opinions of how people of the 20th century fell short. Likewise the characters from the present learned from those of the past, both good and bad, bringing a better appreciation of their present or a way of improving on the present. That brought me to think about how we can learn from the life styles and perspectives of the past and thus improve our perspectives of the present.

Well I just started reading it and I'm only on pg.149 of Prisoner of time but it is good. I can't belive that Devoney's in 1998 instead or 1898. And that Tod has follen for her. Not saying that she's not preety because the way I picture her she's buitiful but still he's just so well heartless preety much.

While I had to force myself to actually pick up the book and read it, once I started I could not stop until I was done. What a delightful read, even if the ending was a disappointment. Yet, it was satisfying and I highly enjoyed what Caroline wrote. The characters were engaging and easy to empathize with, even the antagonists. Thanks for this series!

I looked for the last book in this series for YEARS. I was so excited to finally get a hold on it, but decided to re-read the first three books first.

I must say I was rather disappointed by the ambiguous ending, but at least it wasn't a sad ending, and the book as a whole was well written. It was nice to get a glimpse into ancient Egypt as well.

Read the first volume - had to read the second! Annie is still trying to connect with Strat. The setting is Egypt, which was very interesting. Met some new characters that really helped make the story.

Strat is slightly annoying...that's really all I have to say

4 stars for both books.
