This review may contain spoilers from the first book.
I was excited to get a chance to read the second book in the Flashback Four series, last books cliffhanger had me worrying about the kids. I was a little surprised when this one started because I was hoping it would start at the cliffhanger and it seemed to start a couple weeks later. So you sort of miss how they got back.
In this book the kids are off to take a picture of the sinking Titanic, great idea..right? No, it’s really not. After the last mission you would expect that they would have a couple issues. Luke, Julia, David and Isabel beg to go back and take a picture of the Titanic to make up for the mess they made in the last mission. I loved the history that is put into these books and it’s every educational for kids. I am pretty sure I learned a thing or two also that I didn’t know along the way. I liked how the story unfolded, I really don’t want to give anything away because it was a fun read. The end was pretty intense and I am eager to see what happens in book #3.
Overall, this was a really cute book, I really like the characters and love how a big of history is incorporated into the story with pictures and detailed info. I think this is a great book for Middle Grade, Teen and even YA/Adults. I also think this is a great book to have in a classroom for teachers to read to the class.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my review.
I am trying out a new graphic for my reviews, let me know what you think.
Have a great day and Happy Reading!

Looks like fun. I can see where this would be good for kids with the history mixed in.
I like your new graphic. 🙂
I forgot I did that graphic! lol I was considering doing it for my reviews but I forgot I left it in this post. Thank you for liking it! 🙂
The history mixed in is great. Such a fun way to learn history, the cliffhangers are little bit too much but it was cute.
I love how the history is incorporated though I think I’d be disappointed with the lack of explanation on the cliffhanger. Maybe they’re thinking kids don’t have the attention span and wouldn’t care if they didn’t know? I’ll have to look for this one and the first book. They sound like they’d be a fun addition to the Tornado’s bookshelves and I wouldn’t mind reading them myself!
I think the Tornado would like them. It has such a great history to it which is what I like the most. The Cliffhanger was pretty intense but I do think it would be good for kids. They don’t seem to mind as much as adults. LOL
Sounds like such a fun series!
It was but so frustrating. I think kids would really enjoy it.
