Pandora’s Box

When we first met Becky Mellor and her little brother Joe, they were sent away for summer vacation to Uncle Percy’s home. What they originally thought would be a boring summer turned into an adventure of a lifetime as the siblings experienced unbelievable time travel adventures as they hunted with Percy for the mythic Golden Fleece from Greek mythology.

Becky, Joe, and Uncle Percy are back in book 2 of the Time Hunters Series, The Time Hunters and the Box of Eternity. In this exciting middle grade chapter book Becky and Joe return to their uncle’s estate, Bowen Hall, for their half-term holiday. The children encounter Al Capone and his gangsters, Blackbeard and his pirates, sea monsters, and zombies as they push on their quest to find the legendary Pandora’s Box. 

The Box of Eternity has a fast-paced plot, excellent characterizations, believable dialogue, and beautifully described settings. However, there are frequent punctuation and grammatical errors the author Carl Ashmore needs to address to boost this 4 pop rating.

Book 2 of the Time Hunters Series is an exciting read and I look forward to the third installment, The Time Hunters and the Spear of Fate.
