In each book in the series, a magic book whisks the Time Warp Trio back in time, where they invariably find themselves embrolied in an outrageous adventure. More challenging than early chapter book series like The Magic Treehouse, The Time Warp Trio books are slim and packed with action and Scieszka's particular brand of irreverent humor. They are the perfect bridge into longer novels and an excellent choice for reluctant readers. Best of all, the immensely popular anti-heroes will have kids laughing out loud as they learn a lot.
