Review

Charlie is a boy who can feel the "hum" and control it. He gets taken from his time frame into the future by a robotically enhanced girl. She can smash atoms to travel through time. There is a diabolical villain who plans on controlling the world by combining DNA with technology to create a new future. There are some plot twists along the way... It's a fun book of adventure, time travel, and the hum (life forces).

Good book for reluctant readers.

Overall Book Score: good
