It hooks you in with the first couple of lines and doesn't let go until the end. This story being set closer to this era than the others was easier to imagine with things like old fashion telephone boxes etc and definitely a lot more names that I recognised, I might have even had my dad's Beatles records playing in my head while I read. I love this series so much! This was another novella, but just like the other one-it packed a lot of awesomeness in those pages. It was interesting seeing them go to a time that is the closest to our current time that they've been so far. ..I love history & learning & these books give me that & more-like a great sibling dynamic, great adventure, time travel, humor, danger, etc. Johnson draws on facts from the '60's but manages to mould them into a fascinating story of cults and communes. We are immersed in the culture of 1966 through his descriptions of fashion, transport, food, and even public phone booths - an archaic system of speaking to each other in 'the olden days' This time the Baxter children were lucky enough to attend a Beatles concert, but things go awry, and Uncle Archie isn't around to help them. I find these stories about the time traveling Baxter children to be very entertaining and I like the bits of historical information presented. This was another amazing addition to the Stuck series. I loved learning about the 60s alongside the siblings. The author really transports you back to this time while reading this book. I feel like I was immersed in the culture of 1966 through the people and the places the siblings and Uncle Archie went to. 5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great seriesAfter reading the first one in this series i bought the whole set for my niece and nephew for Christmas.
