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!
