*I received an ARC through NetGalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest book review*
Henry Babbitt is emotionally burnt out by the promise of great adventures getting broken by his father's tragic's death. On Christmas Eve at his grandparent's house, his Grandfather tells him about The Great Skavenger's Hunt, that ran three years in a row since 1883 and how he and Henry's father, Nathan were trying to find any clues that could be remained to this day. In a moment of excitement Henry sneaks in the middle of the night to find answers about a Ledger Sheet, his grandfather found and thinks it may be connected to Skavenger's Hunt. In a magical Whoosh he finds himself back in 1885. with no clue of how to get back.
Along with his new friends, and also enemies he must solve the unsolvable Skavenger's Hunt. his only hope to get back.
WOW, this is one of the best middle-grade books I've read in a while, full of adventures, friendships, funny and equally suspenseful.
I liked Henry, he's your typical 12-year-old protagonist boy with a good, brave heart and nice attitude.
Throughout the entire journey, I was entirely hooked, How they traveled from one place to another, how they handled difficulties. It's quite entertaining for middle graders and ever older kids.
My downsize was France and how they tried wine, I thought it was unappropriate and uncalled for along with some bad words coming from Jack.
Overall this is such a good read, a great start for 2018 (year I did start in early December 2017 but who cares)
I would try and get my hands on a physical copy because I personally think it's worth the investment.
Highly recommend it 4.5 stars
