Travel Into The Past Brings Back Lessons For The Future, December 19, 2007

I am a children's author who likes to read books by other children's authors. I really enjoyed "Don't Know Where, Don't Know When". Hannah and Alex Diaz and Brandon Clark arrive in England during World War 2, with a mystery to solve. They are unprepared for the world of war torn England. They are faced with air raids, evacuations, and miserable foods that stink. The children also eat dry bread and cakes, and wear hand-me-down clothing that should have been discarded long ago. They are faced with strict rules of behavior and firm punishments.

Brandon, who is black, faces prejudice and is disliked by some who have never before encountered a person of his race. Brandon is separated from his friends, not only by being in a different home, but a different time in history. Alex takes his new environment as a challenge and an adventure. Hannah often opens her mouth and says inappropriate things.

I recomend "Don't Know Where, Don't Know When", for children and adults. It would be a great book to read to an elementary class for 3rd through 6th graders. This book would also be a good read-together book for a family. Join in the adventure of Hannah, Alex and Brandon, as they travel into the past and bring back lessons they can use in the future.
