By telling the people on the Titanic of its impending doom, I wonder if that alters the course of history thus changing future events? This is a #BOTD worth looking at for me. Great review!

In this young-adult sci-fi fantasy, a teenage girl finds a talking rabbit inside a magician's suitcase and travels to the past. It teaches kids a lesson while providing a fun, exciting adventure. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Great review!

I think it is always refreshing to see this kind of magical stories with female protagonists. I hate that it has so many grammatical mistakes but I'm willing to give it a go. Something cool is that it does not seem to revolve around love. Thanks for your clear review.

I love this review! The book sounds like a different take of Alice In Wonderland. I'm definitely going to be putting this in my bookshelves.

This just reminds me of childhood stories where the characters had talking pets. And I must say thus never gets old so I would love to read a book even if you mentioned it is a young adult story. Great review!

This book sounds like a good YA fantasy. I'm generally not a fan of time travel, but this sounds interesting and informative. I especially like the talking bunny.

This is a cool book for children and teenagers alike to learn about important life lessons. I like that the main character developed a greater sense of self as she embarked upon these different adventures. I agree with your criticisms of the book and the rating, but overall the book was well thought out.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting young adult fiction novel about a young girl who finds a magician's black box with power to trasport her through time to different events alongside a magical white rabbit. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

This is a delightful book that can be read by different age groups. The protagonist, Tania , goes on magical adventures that take her back in time. There are great values highlighted throughout the story via Tania's character. Thank you for a well-written review.

This sounds like a fun adventurous book. I agree the cover is beautiful. I like that though Tania is shy and has few friends she embarks on these adventures with confidence and boldness. Great review!

Time travel, magic, a rabbit companion...it sounds like a great read for children (but maybe not so much for young adults).
