BOOK: Mr. Was by Hautman

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Hautman, Pete. _Mr. Was_,1996 [0-68981068-7]
Wow, what a book!  Not only does it deal with time travel (its
implications, etc.) but it has a great story and the characters are
very well developed.  When Jack and his mother go to her father's
death bed, he grabs Jack by the neck, shouting, "You" and he
dies.  After they go back to his house, Jack finds a secret door
which takes him back to 1941.  He uses it to get away from the
alcoholism and the abuse of his father.  The book is presented as
parts of various diaries and documents which have been
discovered.  This 216 page book is an absolutely incredible book.
The concepts of time travel implications and the many plot twists
would make it reachable to only top level elementary or junior high
students.  Even if you don't purchase this one, try to read it.  The
author has written several adult novels.
