The California Kid Fights Back

I read this book when it was first published and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was really interesting to me. I bought additional copies as gifts for nieces and nephews, who loved it. Having known the author (from aerobics classes) I looked forward to this historically correct novel. As I now buy a copy for my nanny's son, I anxiously await any new additions to her series. Ms Scott's writing will engage your child. Your kids will like reading her book!!

As a sequel, this book is definitely NOT a disappointment! Once again we are back with Flattop learning the Medieval lifestyle, but are plunged into a journey across the land as William must go to pay his loyalty to his brother James. Flattop follows along meeting many different characters along the way. The book weaves a tale of adventure and deception that finds the reader frustrated for Flattop and for William who is stuck in a class system that cannot easily be swayed. What will they do? Does happiness really matter? I recently read this book to a group of Grade 5 students who thoroughly enjoyed it, and were always begging for more!!! Congratulations Deborah! You've done it again! I recommend it to all those who have read "The Kid Who Got Zapped Through Time"
