When she discovers that Griffin and his uncle are also detectives, she becomes very friendly. So when Elizabeth goes missing along with a special invention, Griffin sets out to rescue her. But finding Elizabeth will take them on a race against the clock that bends time itself!" from Thomas Nelson.
My take on the book....
This is the second in the No Place Like Holmes series. It began a little slow for me. Whether that was because I'd not read the first book or not, I'm not sure. It actually took me a few chapters to get into it. It's a good thing I paid attention in the beginning. Everything means something in this book. Details! Details! The time traveling back and forth made some interesting problems. It got so twisted around that I didn't even want to put it down. The characters are well developed and likeable. The bad guys are very bad; but, the majority of the book is focusing on the good guys and how they're figuring it all out. I'm giving it to my children 12 and 14 to read next. It's juvenile fiction; and, I think it's good.

Sounds interesting!
This book sounds really interesting! I will have to look into it for my 10 yr old son. He is a "details" kid and this sounds like it is right up his alley. Thanks for sharing.
My son read the 1st one and loved it! He begged me to buy this one--which made ME happy :).

Sounds like a good read. I always love it when a slow-going book makes a turn around!
