Overall rating and opinion of "SandPeople: An Across Time Mystery" by Cheryl Kerr

[Mari Thompson]

SandPeople: An Across Time Mystery by Cheryl Kerr falls primarily into the genres of mystery and time travel. These genres are woven together throughout the book, creating a unique blend of suspense, historical exploration, and puzzle-solving.
However, it's always good to read reviews, synopses, or sample chapters to determine if a book aligns with one's personal preferences before making a decision to read it. Nonetheless, I'll recommend it.

I like all the aspects of mystery, suspense, historical exploration, and puzzle solving. I’m not a big fan of time travel in my books. I will have to learn more about how much time travel is involved in this story. Thanks for pointing out the time travel aspect. You are so right that it’s always a good idea to read reviews, and synopses to make sure a book aligns with one’s personal preferences.

The book's approach to addressing serious topics like divorce and self-blame in a manner that is both sensitive and enlightening is commendable. It offers valuable lessons in empathy and self-discovery, making it not only a compelling read but also a tool for learning and growth.

[Alissa Nesson]

My overall opinion of this book is that it’s a wonderful read for young people. I think this is a book that anyone can enjoy, but older kids and younger teenagers will probably get the most out of it. It has emotional themes of growing up, dealing with family problems, going somewhere new and scary by yourself, and meeting new people in new places. It also, amongst this very realistic drama, weaves in themes of mystery, investigation, and the supernatural. I found it a heady combination that made for a genuine coming-of-age story, but with a special twist that will keep everyone reading late into the night.

When you look at the book at first glance, you will find it boring but a deeper read will show you how interesting this book is. The characters, storyline, self-discovery, and friendship were top-notch in this book. This is the definition of the theme"Don't judge a book by its cover". I will recommend this book to teenagers who need self-discovery tips and parents who are open to learning more parenting tips like effective listening to their kids. Hence I rate this book 4 out of 4. The title and cover were intriguing and drove curiosity. It was worth it.

The cover of the book was the first, of course. I loved how inviting it was. But other than that, I foundi it completely compelling and would recommend it to those close to me. A good four out of five stars from me.

It was a good read. Quite nice and exploratory for teens and young kids. It didn't do much for me though so I'd rate it a 3 out of 5. It was average at best to someone like me who's used to and loves sci-fi, originality, historical, fiction, fantasy, and romance writings
