Product Description

Product Description

An Amazon TOP 20 bestseller (Children's Mystery and Spy Stories, Jan. 2013) 

Warning: if you enjoy romantic tales about princesses dressed in pink, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!

Auggie Spinoza is a ten-year-old boy with a secret: he is a special agent who can travel through time. Now, he finds himself locked in a desperate battle against evil forces trying to change the course of history. To defeat them, Auggie must pursue a dangerous quest to find a set of mysterious clues hidden in the past.

With the help of a clever new friend and advice from a cast of famous characters with names like Jefferson, Darwin, and Plato, Auggie fights to fulfill his destiny and save his world from ruin. Along the way, he learns the importance of thinking clearly and shows the awesome power of a code-breaking, book-loving, time-traveling ten-year-old with a talent for being in the right place at the right time (and doing the right thing).

Fans of Rick Riordan, The 39 Clues, and The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel will delight in this action-packed and thought-provoking adventure through history.

About the Author

Steven Stickler is no rocket scientist. He will never be confused with a professional athlete. He is not (despite widespread rumors) the actor who played Cousin Oliver in The Brady Bunch, nor was he a guest drummer for the Beatles during a brief period in the mid-1960s. He is something completely different: a writer. He began writing when he was five years of age and, perhaps due to an oversight by those in positions of authority, was never told to stop. He lives in the great Pacific Northwest of the United States, where he enjoys exploring the outdoors with his family and, of course, reading at least one book by Dr. Seuss every year. A “stickler” for secrecy, he has never allowed his face to be captured on film and fears that we have already revealed too much in this simple biography.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read 3 Jun 2012
By Kerri
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 12, but I read this as an adult and enjoyed it! It's a gripping adventure with two young children meeting famous people from time and battling the baddies, "time vultures" to save their families and history itself. Dont want to give too much away but will say as an adult I was quite surprised that it kept me entertained and I found it to be quite a page turner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, clever and a good adventure 29 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This young adult book by Steven Stickler has the best beginning to a book that I've read in a long time and I think it would capture the interest of anyone of any age. It starts with a letter that takes the reader into the author's confidence and starts to relate a story that has been kept under wraps - who can resist someone telling them a secret?

This book is very clearly written, funny and has a good pace, ideal for its intended audience and making it a quick enjoyable read for adults. There's some great gentle humour in there with lots of references to things that children can relate to. The tingling Auggie feels when he's near a hole in time is like when Auggie first ate Pop Rocks. Auggie's sister calls him "uggs" like the boots. These very appealing asides add a nice roundness to the hero's character at the beginning, but perhaps hinder the flow of the story later in the novel.

The holes in time are brilliantly introduced. The author's description of Auggie looking into the darkness is as fascinating for the reader as the hole is for Auggie in the novel. I also loved animal-like human villains in the book - the time vultures - and the introduction of historical figures as very human individuals. The crux of the novel was suitably grave and I perhaps found it even more poignant as an adult than if I'd read the book as a child.

There were a few things that did detract: The repetition of phrases might have comic effect but they were overused for me. There were one or two small incongruities with the plot also.

I found The Absolutely Amazing Adventures of Agent Auggie Spinoza a fantastic read though and I hope the ending does leave room for a follow up.
