I think alot of teens would benifit from reading this story. It is well written, interesting & has a story to tell that can touch alot of confused young adults.
Jordan has it pretty ruff at home, his dad is pretty ruff so he has decided to join a gang. But upon coming in contact with a timepiece that takes him back to the time of slavery, he experiences the trials people went thru in the nineteenth century. He understands and sees many things thru his expereince of time travel. To find out what exactely Jordan did experience & how Jordan and his father turn out you will have to read this book. Did he learn or lesson thru his timetravel, or did he have to learn it in present day time. It will be well worth your time..young teen or adult. I personally really enjoyed the message and the author.
