Summary: My Most Favorite Book!
Review: I have read this book twice, and by far it is my favorite! This book was about a young, adventerous girl. She was sent out of her hometown to find someone that could help cure the terrible disease where she lived. If you like adventure, suspense, and surprises, this would be a great book for you to read!

Summary: The BEST book ever!
Review: This was such a great book! I read it last summer when we were on vacation and I finished it in a day. I just couldn't put it down. Haddix has such a way of keeping you turning the pages that it's unbelievable. Every time I thought the excitement would sink, Jessie would get herself into more trouble and the action would escalate all over again. You feel that you know the characters, and more then once I saw myself in Jessie. She was brave, heroic, and completely couragous about every situation she was put in to. It's a must read for all ages!

Summary: This is a breath taking book that you won't want to put down
Review: This is about a girl named Jessie who tries to survive the day. Jesse thinks she is living in 1840. There is a deadly disease called dipitheria going around the small town of Clifton. Jessie's Ma tells her she wants to meet her beside a special rock to give her a secret mission. After school the next day, Jesse goes to the rock and sees Ma. Ma wants her to go outside Clifton and find something called a pay phone, and call someone named Mr.Nelley. She needs to tell him that there is a deadly disease, and get help. On her way she gets stopped by two creeps named Tol and Ray. She runs into a KFC to get away. If you think that was interesting wait till you read the book!

Summary: This book is an adventure that is breath taking
Review: During the novel's adventure, Jessie takes risks as she moves from 1840 to 1996 that jeopardizes her life. These risks include getting out of Clifton and drinking possibly dangerous water. Also, she has to get away from Tol and Ray, a couple of creeps--so she runs like the dickens--also, she is held captive in an apartment. (Jessie had to crawl down a wall to escape.) She calls a news confrence to spread the word about diptheria in Clifton and passes out. When she wakes up she has saved everybody except Abby and Jefferson. Then she gets to go back to her parents and is forced live a 1996 girl life. I think the hardest thing for Jessie was to adapt to 1996.

Summary: This book was so good that I couldn't put it down!
Review: I like how the book changes your idea on who Jessie should trust. It was fun figuring out who was the bad guy. I also like how Margret Peterson Haddix put together Jessie. She was a good character: she was brave, smart and cautious. When Katie got sick with diptheria, I think that was what made Jessie keep going.

Summary: This book was the best I've read!
Review: Running Out Of Time is about a family who thinks that they are living in 1840 but are really living in 1996. Everything is fine until the town is hit with diptheria. Then Jessie, the main character, is the only one who can escape and get help, but the man she thinks is is helping really isn't. Read it to see what happens!

Summary: Good for guys too
Review: A very suspenceful story about a girl named Jesse, who lives in a "living" museum that takes place in 1840. But outside the museum it is really 1996. When a terrible disease passes through the town, Jesse's mom sends her out to the real world to get help. From this point on it is a very suspenceful story. Even though this book is about a girl, boys will like it just as much.
