My son and I really loved this book, it was so fun to read and it remains among our favourites. My son said he could relate to the main character intensely and enjoyed every bit of it.

Kids 4-8th grade are going to enjoy this story! It has interesting characters, time travel, mystery, a good dose of scary... A little bit of everything that adds up to a whole lot of great story!

My thanks to NetGalley and Amberjack Publishing for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

This book was very good and interesting, I enjoyed the characters and the concept of being able to communicate to others in the past or the future.

However, the use of a "talking board" aka Ouiji board and the other spiritualist things, such as speaking to spirits of the dead were not things of which I was a huge fan. I am an adult and can read this as the fiction that it is without thinking any of it is true, but that may not be the case for a younger and less certain mind.

I always recommend that the parents/guardians of a child review the books their child/charge is going to read and decide if the book is appropriate for the child at that time. I'm not saying ban or never let the child read it, but to know the child and when they can handle the different concepts raised by the book in question. If you are one of those parents/guardians and you feel your child is not ready to read about the occult yet, then steer clear of this book.

It is written well and I found it to be entertaining, but I can see where some might have an issue with it. 3, recommended with reservations, stars.

I LOVE Middle Grade books for the truth told at such an impressionable age. This story is a great friendship story that I think any age range would enjoy. Opens your eyes and your heart and give Josie and Alec a change to make you think more about life.

I wasn’t sure how the dual POV would work for me, but I think it was really well done. This was such a touching story of friendship, and the speculative element kept me engaged. I definitely think middle grade readers will enjoy this one!

I did try to read this book so many times but never did managed to pass the first pages. It just did not catch my interest enougth to keep reading. I does looks like is well written though. Well, maybe I was just not inspired enough, I will try again a last time in the future. For now I just can say that it needs to work on hold the attention of the reader.

This was an entertaining read from beginning to end. I really loved how friendship was the main focus and how important that type of relationship can be to a person's life. The dual perspectives worked especially well for this story.While I enjoyed this story I did feel that there places where it dragged a bit and the ending felt a bit rushed as the book ended with many of my questions still unanswered.

Not my favorite — the story’s plot line felt too familiar with two kids from different time periods. Because of that, I’d hoped it would hook me with the writing but I never found it interesting.

This is exactly the kind of book that can hold the attention of a kid, but also has them learning about history without cramming it down their throats. I also love the kind of time travel-ey element, although it isn't exactly time travel, the concept of how they come to communicate with each other is a fresh spin on the time travel element. The characters were relatable and interesting and I found myself wanting to know what happened to Josie and Cass as much as Alex did. I absolutely loved this from start to finish and I know all three of my kids, ages 9-11, will as well. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good book with a little bit of suspense and enjoy the element of having a book set in two different time periods.

Great and easy to read story. I was very surprised of how different this book is from other books. I wasn't expecting so much from it having a time travel. story. It has me thinking about the future and even the past. What was it like for Alec and Josie. However the beginning part did weird me out a bit. And going in and out from characters got me a bit confusing as well. Story is very entertaining.

This is an enchanting story of time travel and unexpected friendships. Josie and Alec are the same age, and they live in the same house, but they live 100 years apart. For Josie, the year is 1915, and for Alec, it's 2015. Somehow, they find each other through a talking board and forge the sweetest of friendships. Josie's sister, Cass, is an adorable little girl who adds a whole other level of charm to the story.

The story is told in alternating viewpoints between the past (Josie's character) and the present (Alec's character), which gives us a great picture of what their lives were like at their time and the "current" struggles they were facing.

The book is well written and even though it's definitely written for the middle grade, the language wasn't dumbed down and some of the situations, although rather unnerving, were handled appropriately.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free electronic ARC of this novel, received in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a fan of books about the spiritualist movement. It's a fascinating point in history. I like reading books about time travel and the paradoxes inherent in the idea. DeAngelis explores these paradoxes to a significant degree. She also focuses a lot more on the historical characters than the modern ones. Alec is largely only there to serve as a device for change in the lives of Josie and Cass. It would be stronger if there had been more development in both time periods.

Author Camille DeAngelis creates likable characters that kids will root for. When I was a kid, I visited my grandparents' home often. The house was built in the 1800's, so I used to wonder about other occupants of the house. In The Boy from Tomorrow, young Alec wonders too. When he and a friend find a Ouiji board, they are able to contact sisters who'd lived in his house 100 years earlier. Both the past kids and Alec have major family issues. The author tackles these tough topics without flinching. There will be parents who will object to the darkness and supernatural elements of the book, so hopefully they will read the description. Overall, nice writing and captivating story.

This was a beautiful story of suspense and mystery that I enjoyed very much. I liked that it was about a very unusual friendship.

“The Boy from Tomorrow” was a first-rate middle-grade story which was very gratifying and well crafted. Camille DeAngelis did a superb job with the character definition and I appreciated the dual perspective of the present and past and the two main characters.

This was an extraordinary novel that was delightful for its uniqueness. Highly recommended. Rating: 5 Stars

Thank you to NetGalley and Amberjack Publishing for the complimentary ARC. This is my honest and totally voluntary opinion.

As an adult who reads a lot of children’s literature, I feel like an expert in the genre. I try to base books on whether I could teach them to my students. This is a winner for sure! I found myself picking this book up any time I had down time, choosing it over an adult novel. To me, that sells the book right there.

The Boy From Tomorrow jumps between 1930s and current day, with two kids about the same age communicating through a Ouija board. So cool! I like that this book took something that usually terrifies kids and turned it into a tool to communicate with the past. A great spin on a scary topic.

If you have a middle grader—they need this book! I received an advance copy, all thoughts are my own.

Enjoyable time-switchy book for young readers. Well written. I think it would be a nice choice for kids who have enjoyed Bellairs and L’Engle. There were several loose threads left without explanation, so I am hopeful there will be a sequel.

This book was read and reviewed by my 11-year-old son "Freddy."

In The Boy from Tomorrow, Alec and Josie are 100 years apart but are the same age. They quickly become friends but when Alec finds a headstone with their last name on it the two must find out how to get Josie's little sister Cassie away from the house so she can live.

I thought it was a great book because the characters were really entertaining and the author ended the book really well. I also enjoyed the idea and thought the characters were very realistic. The author made me worry about the characters when the suspense started. I recommend this book to kids who like science fiction.

I give this book 5 stars and would really enjoy reading this book again because of the intense plot.

Teddy note to parents: This book contained scenes involving a ouija board, which I had not caught in our reading of the original summary before choosing it to review.

I am going to go against the flow here, I gather it was just me but I struggled to get into this one. I will try again at another time.

The story of two very different children who share a bedroom - 100 years apart. Josie is the daughter of a famous spiritualist, and when she and her little sister decide to try out her spirit board they make contact with the "spirit" of Alec. As they continue to make contact, they realise that they are talking to each other across time, over a century apart. Gradually they become friends and Alec begins to investigate what happened to them, leading to a disturbing discovery. Knowing that Josie and her sister may be in grave danger, he helps them to plan a daring escape from their cruel and capricious mother.
This is a really well crafted story aimed at middle grade readers. It does not condescend in terms of the darkness of the story, the authenticity of the historical detail, or the vocabulary used. The characters are well crafted and believable, and the villainous mother is believable and never over the top. The book gives an interesting glimpse into what life was like for a child in the last century, and how much it differs from today.
I read and reviewed an ARC courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher, all opinions are my own.

I had a hard time getting into this book, I’m not sure if it was the writing or the pacing, although it was somewhat enjoyable I couldn’t really finish it. I hope hat I can give this book a second try someday but for now it’s a nono for me.
