Not my favorite book by far. I liked the basics of it...the time travel, the attempts to learn about his grandfather. But the photos actually ruined it a little bit. Some were great- the cover photo! Those clown kids! But others were forced...the girl with the backmouth, for example- her photo was just of a the back of a girl's head. It felt a smidge contrived, as if there were a pile of photos and the author thought "well, where can I stick this one? Oh, how about this, she has a mouth under all that hair". Boo. Won't be reading the sequel(s).
