As a teacher, this novel motivated many non-readers in my fifth grade class. Woodruff does a wonderful job of weaving historical facts with the fantasy children love. All of the characters seem true to life and readers feel as they are also walking along with George Washington. When encountering past students, they do remember the novel as their favorite. I highly recommend this for reluctant and avid readers alike!!

I've always been fasinated by time-travel and history so these kids' accidental trip to Colonial America is great.
They land right smack in the middle of the Delaware River and who should come by.......George Washington himself. Very accurate account so I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids. Perfect for 9-12 year old book- reading adventure lovers!

Cute historical fiction set a children take a step back in time to the American Revolution.
i luv it it's awsome especially the part where matt gets mistaken by a soldier!!!
Time travel story of 10 year olds going back to the battle of Trenton. I'm not sure it would hold a child's interest
Boys get sucked through time,...will they be able to get back??
"An overnight camp-out turns into a harrowing trip into colonial America in this action packed novel...Young history buffs and adventure seekers alike will enjoy this journey to the past."
