- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was long and perfectly entertaining throughout. It broadens the definition of explorer adequately to accomodate modern exploration. It was a really well-written book. Good for an older audience thanks to the length, but entertaining throughout.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The pathways theme of this book is Yesterday. It is a good book for boys in the middle grades who love exploring and adventure. It can be used as an example of a how to create a good hook. The intro grabs your interest as the author talks directly to the reader. It makes history captivating and worthwhile along with the funny illustrations and humorous text. Students can learn how to write with "voice" and interact with the reader through humor and exciting sentences like, "Great wasn't added to Alexander's name for nothing."
