Dear Mrs.Zrihen,


I am reading the book called The Nick of time: the Adventure Through Time by Ted Bell. This has been a pretty interesting book in my own opinion. A passage that I thought was interesting was on page 43: "The interior of the Cave was plunged into darkness. And that burst from Katie's throat filled the darkness with her terror." i picked this passage because it made me go into suspense of questions, because I didn't know if Nick, the protagonist and Kate's  big brother, had left Kate, a protagonist, alone or he got captured or something.Some strategies that used before reading this book was make a prediction based on the details I have been given.  Another strategy was to skim and scan for text features, I found only the picture in the title of each chapter and the table of contents. The genre is fiction and the sub-genre is historical fiction because this was based on the Nazi war in World War II. The characters are Nick and Kate who are the protagonists. The antagonist is a red bird based on what I have read. The foil is Nick's parents. 
The setting is on an island in the English channel named Greybeard island, this is taken during day and night. At the beginning of the story it was a rush during a tremendous thunderstorm. The conflict is that Nick and Kate have found a chest that contains a time machine and he has to go back in time to help is ancestor. The tone is adventurous. The mood is interested. I don;t know the moral. The point of view is third person. The pattern of organization is time order. The author is biased in this story and was to entertain the reader. 


I would rate this book 9/10 because it is good but needs some adjustments.
