Time Warp Trio: The Good, The Bad and The Goofy

BOOK NAME: Time Warp Trio: The Good, The Bad and The Goofy
AUTHOR: Jon Scieszka

This is part of a series of books about three boys named Joe, Sam and Fred, who have their own book that takes them to any place at any time and they can’t control it. In this story, the magical book takes the trio to a cattle drive in the Old West, where they ride horses and live with real cowboys before being captured by Indians. The tribe decided to release the boys when Joe performed a magic trick that amazes the Indians. However, one of the Indians tried to scalp them before they left, but the tribe’s medicine chief stopped him.

My favorite part of the book was Joe’s magic trick. I’m not going to tell what he did to trick the Indians because you definitely need to read this book to find out.

There are at least 15 other Time Warp Trio books and I’ve read seven of them. These books remind me of the Magic Tree House series (by Mary Pope Osborne) that I used to read when I was younger because in each one the characters travel in time and you learn about different places and history–and sometimes, the future. I haven’t read one yet that I didn’t like.

Hmmm…Yeah, that does sound awfully like the Magic Tree House. However, this seems like a pretty good book.

Ditto what Emma said. As for the plot I ihink that there have been like a trillion different time travel books, so they are most likely pretty much the same plot.

Ya, it is totally like the Magic Tree House series. It’s basically the same thing only in the Magic Tree House there is missions.

I think the tv show is annoying, but the books are better.
