Customer Reviews

See You Later Gladiator

Anthony C. wrote the following:I gave the book 5 stars. I think the book is good. I think I like it when they fight the gladiator. I also like when they go in the colusseum by the king. It is about when three boys get time traveled to the gladiator time. The gladiators go after the three boys because they want to capture them and kill them. I recommend this book to everyone who likes silly books.

Easy summer read

My son recently wrote the following:The Time Warp Trio books contain amazing pictures by Lane Smith and humorous stories by Jon Scieszka (of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales fame). Time Warp Trio books are entertaining and easy to read and were probably written to encourage kids who don't usually read much to read more.In See You Later Gladiator, the three friends find themselves in Ancient Rome, face-to-face with a gladiator about to make short work of them. They pass themselves off as powerful magicians. Their only hope for survival is to find The Book and skedaddle before they encounter any more sword-wielding gladiators.Enjoy this "quick" summer read!

Gladiators beware!

This story is about three boys named Joe, Sam, and Fred. These three boys have a very strange book that, when they say special words, it will transport them to a different time. In order to get back home, they have to find the book which is hidden in Rome, and that is where they are too! When they arrive, they are in a Gladiator stadium! To find out more, read See You Later Gladiator.

Laugh Out Loud

This book is about three strange boys named Sam, Joe, and Fred who open "The Book". Then a green mist appears and the boys find themselves in Ancient Rome. While they're traveling the book gets lost. The boys have to find the book to get back home. I counted about 3 funny things in the story. This story made me Laugh Out Loud!

Awsomely funny!

I am a 4th grade teacher and have a child in my room that is not a recreational reader. He had to do a book report and this book just arrived in our school's library. I picked it up and quickly skimmed the cover. It seemed interesting so I recommended it to William. I recieved a letter from his mother two days later which said she was so happy to see him READING and not wanting to put this book down. Several times she had to check on him because he was either so quiet or laughing OUT LOUD! I could not give a better recommendation than that.
