[LM_NET] Share/Back in Time With Benjamin Franklin

["Ada G. Kent" <agkent@COLUMBUS.RR.COM>]

Hello, Everyone!

 

I want to add a book to Brenda Stultz's post, "300 Benjamin Franklin, 300
Ideas". I absolutely loved Dan Gutman's _Back in Time With Benjamin
Franklin: A Qwerty Stevens Adventure_. This book is laugh-out-loud good. The
book is a time travel historical fantasy that involves two boys who mess
around with a time machine and bring Benjamin Franklin to their world while
later traveling to his. A word of caution, you might want to read this book
before using it with your classes. At one point, Benjamin Franklin is
completely nude in the boy's bedroom and there are several hints at old
Benjamin's success with women. Even if you don't decide to use the book for
your study of Benjamin Franklin, I recommend this book if you'd like to
brush up on your Ben Franklin and be entertained at the same time. Titlewave
gives this book a 5.3 reading level. The book would be useful for upper
elementary-middle school and possibly for older students with delayed
reading achievement (high low).
