How does one twelve year old boy and his little sister get to meet Lord Nelson and Winston Churchill, fight a bloody pirate, and catch a German U-boat? Why with a Leonardo da Vinci's time machine of course. We listened to "Nick of Time" written by Ted Bell , and read by John Shea. It was an amazing adventure of Nick who learns what it means to be a hero. There are spies, sword fights, and harrowing storms. The story is 10 cd's and 11+ hours long.
From a mom's perspective, this was a great book. No one has an adventure like a 12 year old boy. This charactor was so much fun to follow through history. His character was positive and worthy of emulating . I can see my kids putting this book into their imaginative play. It was a great way to learn of historical characters and events. There is an interview with the author at the end of the story. My older kids liked this story best.
