This story begins with the characters of the book worrying. Worrying about when Mins (an evil man who kidnapped Abby and Derick's grandpa in the first book, and he also endangered the lives of their parents) would return for his revenge. Around lunch time Abby, Derick, and their friend Carol each receive a message from Min on their rings. Note that this book takes place in a time with more advanced technology and a ring can be used like a phone, computer, email, etc. The message avows that they shouldn't be helping, and that the adults should handle their problems. Also in Abby's message Mins asks her to give him the keys to a time machine. He claims that if she gives him the three keys he will let her choose a date in time, so that he can fix the tragedy (like the titanic).
Abby's grandpa asserts that without tragedies we couldn't learn from our mistakes and we'd just make more problems by changing time. It would also prevent certain people from existing anymore and new ones appearing, because people would have different families.
Mins uses a device of his to break through the time machine's shield for a few seconds to send two of his men in. Luckily they are stopped before they change anything in time. Though the characters believe their battle's over I don't think it is. I predict that Mins used that plan as a distraction and that they were supposed to capture his assistants. I think that he has an even bigger plan, one that will almost destroy time and ruin lives.
Chad Morris writes with pretty simple words. The book isn't really easy of hard to read. I don't think much of his writing, and he keeps his book interesting for the most part. Although it would be even better if he made it more intense or used big words, like Brandon Mull. Though it can be nice to have something different from other fiction books.
