When the heart of a father and the mind of a talented writer join forces to create a story that will hold the interest of an inquisitive son, other young people fortunate enough to read the book will benefit. In many books I have favorite sentences underlined. In THE TIME CAVERN by Todd Fonseca I’ve marked full passages. For example on page 56, the description of how each individual strand of silk on a corncob is pollinated to determine the color of each individual kernel of corn is educational, interesting, and entertaining. On page 106, the two main characters are in their school library to do an Internet Google search. Like many children, they wonder what Google means. So, they type into the search box, WHAT DOES GOOGLE MEAN? I’m not telling. Google it yourself or read this book. Fonseca has a three-part foundation throughout this story. He educates readers about interesting things while entertaining them. This book was clearly written with one intelligent boy in mind, the author’s son. Fascinating that particular boy and inspiring him to turn each page was the goal. Fonseca is so terrifically successful that he compels us all to keep turning the pages until the conclusion of this spectacular tale where what we hope will happen does, but with an unexpected twist. THE TIME CAVERN will stimulate and captivate the imagination of young readers, girls and boys alike. I urge parents and teachers to add this book to their libraries.
