"Halt! Vile knaves! Prepare to die!"
So this book begins, the first in the Time Warp Trio series. It is a wonderfully entertaining romp of a book.
3 friends are transported back to the time of King Arthur and have to get back to their own time (1990s New York).
This book is EXCELLENT for reading to a class of junior age children: the humour and pace catch them. It is short - so it won't drag on for weeks. It has a definite structure so you can use it for written work ;-)
This is probably the most successful of the series and sets up the pattern of plot for many of the rest.
Overall: good for children aged 7-11 (and their teachers!)

The Knights of the Reading Circle
28 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
I am a third grade teacher, and every September I start off the new school year with The Knights of the Kitchen Table. I use the Time Warp Trio to ease my students into sitting quietly, while listening to a story for pleasure. After each chapter the children beg me to read another! Regardless of the academic abilities of my students, every one of them seems to truly enjoy this series. Although it is certainly not worthy of a Newbery Medal, I feel it is a fantastic easier chapter book that serves as a springboard to reading. In fact, The Time Warp Trio books are rarely sitting on the shelves of our school library. They are always in a child's hands. To me that makes it worthy of 5 stars.

Three youngs boys accidently travel through time.
26 Nov 1998
Format:Paperback
I am a fifth grade teacher who read this book, one chapter at a time to my students. After each chapter, they had an activity to work on which related to what they had just read. The students had more fun listening to the story as well as doing the actitivies. Each time I reached the end of a chapter, the students would want me to "keep reading" because each chapter would simply leave you "hanging." It is a fast reading book that any young student would enjoy.

An excellent series for kids and their parents.
24 April 2001
Format:Paperback
My son...was given this book by his aunt who works in a library. I had never heard of the Time Warp Trio before that. This book is just right for him. It's not too long to be overwhelming but long enough to be challenging. The kids in the book act in a realistic manner and aren't overly heroic or too goody goody. The book was both interesting and funny and a real pleasure to read with my son. We also have a few others in the series now. This book is perfect for the kid who has outgrown Little Critter and Dr. Seuss but is not quite ready for Harry Potter.
