The Edison Mystery
written by Dan Gutman
Publisher: Simon & Schuster, 2002
Price: $5.99 (paperback)
Wouldn't it be great to travel backwards or forwards in time! I have always enjoyed reading books where time travel is possible, especially H.G. Wells', The Time Machine. But until then a reader can begin with Dan Gutman's, The Edison Mystery. Everyone needs an avenue to vent their frustrations and Qwerty Stevens' avenue is digging in the ground. When he digs up a strange box he realizes he has found something unusual. After all, it is not every day that you find something with Thomas Edison's name on it. Stories within the story will keep readers engaged in this suspenseful, humorous, tale with facts woven throughout this well written adventure of a brother and sister. Use The Edison Mystery to introduce your next unit on inventors.
Review:
School Library Journal: "Overall this is an entertaining novel that should draw fans of time-ravel stories, Gutman's other books, historical fiction, and light fiction. Pass it on to readers who are looking for something good and funny."
