New Kid Catastrophes:
T.J. and the Time Stumblers
by: Bill Myers
About the Book:
"This six-book series centers around two 23rd century goofballs, Tuna and Herby, who travel back in time to study TJ Finkelstein for their history project. TJ will someday become a great leader who demonstrates honesty, integrity, thoughtfulness, self-sacrifice, respect for others—all traits she hones and grasps through her adventures in this series. Unfortunately, Tuna and Herby get stuck in TJ’s time (modern day), so she has to deal with their schemes while juggling the normal issues of a seventh grader who has moved to a new city, is trying to fit in, and is coping with her mother’s death and her family’s new life.
In New Kid Catastrophes, TJ accidentally makes an enemy of Hesper Breakahart, the superstar who attends their school. And Tuna and Herby’s attempts to help just lead to one disaster after another. In the end, TJ is still very unpopular, but she learns the value of looking past appearances and gains a few friends—and the attention of the most popular boy in school."

My Review:
Funny! If I only had one word to describe this book, it would be Funny! Hilarious! I really like the style of writing and the overall moral of the story, honesty! Travel back in time in Book 1 of the New Kid Catastrophes 6 book series as TJ learns to adjust to 7th grade and inadvertantly makes an enemy on the first day. Follow the zany group as they also learn about kindness and patience. Kids will love the silliness and how crazy these time travelers are. My daughter loved this book and has asked for all the others in the series.
Here is Victoria's Review:
"It was very different. Like, in the end usually the girl gets the guy, and all that Romeo and Juliet stuff, but in the end of this, the guy still thinks the girl escaped from a mental hospital. I think its hilarious, I was on the floor laughing at least twice. I think it was creative and written differently, and once I started reading I didn't wanna stop. I liked the sound effects, and I think that the characters were awesome."
