The Fair by John A. HeldtMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Months after they stole two time machines from a madman and billionaire Robert Devereux who is determined to get them back, from his former partner and the rest of the Lane family (a total of 6 people) arrived in 1893 where the bulk of the family seek fun and excitement at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Parents Mark and Mary concentrate on the science and sheer splendour of it all, however, three of the children Jeremy, Laura, and Ashley find romance and friendship. The fourth child Jordan has decided to head west in order to find answers after his lost love in the previous book. Jordan ends up in Virginia City, Nevada, where he lands at a mining community and ends up in the heart of a pretty library clerk, Jessie. This book will follow a modern family on the adventure of a lifetime, as they navigate their way through an unforgettable year in American history.
This was a great story where there was a great mixture of joy, heartbreak, danger and drama. There was also time for some humour so it wasn't all serious events too. I loved the attention to detail for the period in history and the way that it was very different especially when compared with the events in their future. They did their best to immerse themselves into the time and the events as they happened which showed clearly that they were the right people to be travelling in the past. Well written and very enjoyable I can't wait for the next story in the series to find out what happens next and what scrapes they are involved in next. I also hope that they start to change certain behaviours in order to make like much easier in the future. Definitely recommended.
