Summary: It was exciting and is absolutely terrific.
Review: I enjoyed reading Running Out of Time because it was exciting and it never got boring. It was cool reading about a girl named Jessie. She thought she was in 1840 but it was really was 1996. I liked reading what she thought of 1996 and 1840. What was exciting was that when her mom sends her for help and how she struggles to save her life, her family and friends.

Summary: In store reading group thought this was exciting but scary
Review: BeBeep Book group, a middle level reading group in Severna Park, Md discussed this book at their July meeting. Six really liked it while two did not. We talked about Jessie's character quite a bit which was well drawn, but felt the setting was a little confusing as were the motivations of some of the adults. The book is well suited for a group because it has good starting points for discussion but proved to be unsettling for some of the children(2children die and a mother puts her child in danger)and I would keep this in mind if choosing the book.Katie(9)thought it was interesting how a 13yr. old had to react in this situation, Emily(10)thought it was good but too unbelievable, Laura(9)didn't think this was a good book for her age and thought the author should have done a better job of describing Clifton.Kelly(8)thought it was scary, Max(9)really enjoyed the way it was written Derrick(10) thought it was a GREAT book and liked to see how Jessie got out of situations, Babette(8)thought it was much more exciting than the regular books she reads, and Lindsay thought the whole reenactment idea was very neat.

Summary: A funny yet thought provoking book.
Review: Running Out Of Time is a book that makes you the reader appreciate the modern advances of technology that we take for granted. Highly recommended for someone who is having or had a bad day because they did things wrong or did not know how to use them(like this computer). Enjoy!

Summary: My All Time Favorite Book!
Review: I'm 11 years old and I love Running Out Of Time! It's my favortie book ever! It's so exciting! After I read it, I went outside and took a deep breath. I looked all around me and told myself, just because life is easy for me, that dosen't mean it is for everyone. Then I came back inside and thought about all the things that Jessie lived without. Light-bulbs, T.V., the radio,the telephone, cameras. It seemed scary. I wrote down a list about everything the book made me feel, and everytime I feel like nothing goes my way, or something's not fair, I see my list and I remember that I can't complain about anything. I live on "easy street" compared to Jessie. I'm grateful for that. And if Margaret (the author) ever reads this, I want her to know that I did her book for a book report, and I loved it so much, I would gladly use it for another! Thank you for writing such a wonderful book!

Summary: Very Interesting!
Review: I loved this Book!!! It was one of my Favorite books! One of the reasons was that it was very far fetched! Here is the story: there is a girl that thinks that she lives in the 1800's. Well, she's WRONG! She really lives in 1996, only in a preserved tourist attraction where tourists watch them live their everyday lives!! Now, the catch of the book is that the town she lives in is dying of a deadly disease and she has to travel into 1996 to get the medican from a person they thought was there friend. This book is so interesting because the girl is in 1996 and has NO IDEA what half the things are, it's kind of funny to read, she doesn't even know what a radio in a car is!!Enjoy, I'm sure you will!

Summary: A New Look At The World
Review: I really enjoyed reading Running Out of Time. To see the world from the point of view of a girl who believed her self to be living in the 1840's. Her world was viewed through one way mirrors by tourists. They got modern antibiotics for illness's, but suddenly, when a diptheria epidemic strikes, the medicine dries up. Is it a coincidence? Most adults still remeber the modern world, and they choose a messenger to go out and call help. Jessie is frightened. In her town you could trust people, but she has stumbled into a strange new world of deception where she could be killed at a wrong move. The diptheria was introduced by a scientist, who wants the human genes to build resistances to diseases. He says that the diseases are building resistances to antibiotics. I agree with him that we should try to build up our imune system, but on people who agree to it. Not on innocent children who's only crime was being born at the wrong place in the wrong time.
