I liked this book from the beginning until the end. Again this is another sequel to a book. The first book is called Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in my... . At the beginning of this book our main character let's the reader know what happened in the last book. I will say that I have never read the first book but was told that this would be fine to just read this book. One of aspects of this book that I really did like was the relationship between Ike and Ben. They both cared for each other and had to get used to working together so they could save their country. It was interesting to see the dynamic between them as Ike learned about the past and how he should act around people.

The story is about a thirteen year old boy named Ike who has been writing letters back and forth with Benjamin Franklin. He causes problems for Ben when he sends a present day map back to the 1770s and peanut butter. After the map gets stuck onto the Declaration of Independence and gets sent to the British, Ben becomes a disgrace to the country and starts to have a lot of problems. Ike makes it his mission in this book to mail himself back to the 1770s so he can help Ben. Over the course of the story Ben and Ike have to work together to try and fix the past so the future will not be wrecked.

The humor was childish at times but then again this is meant for middle grade students. I cannot be too hard on the book because really this did not take away from the story too much. I am interested in seeing what happens in the next book which I believe may happen because there is a hint of it at the end of the book. I'm glad that I got the opportunity to read this book about time travel and about the Revolutionary war. It was a fascinating look at this time period from the view of a young teenager who really just wants to help his friend. I would recommend reading this story, especially for readers that like Middle Grade stories.
