From the Publisher
Joe, Sam, and Fred have conquered the summer reading list, Greek monsters and Roman gladiators, but a haiku-writing assignment lands them in what might be their scariest adventure yet! Samurai warriors, really big swords, and three twenty-first century kids are a dangerous combination...unless one of the boys can figure out a way to find the book and get them back home before disaster strikes.
Children's Literature
The story begins in seventeenth century Japan when three boys warp into a roadside hut and think they've beheaded a Samurai, only to discover that it is his armor and he is in the doorway behind them. Of course, they must recover The Book in the past in order to return to the present. It is their feeble efforts to write Haiku for a school assignment that has landed them here in the first place. Readers will appreciate a few lame tricks and jokes that pass the three off as "entertainers" on the road into the palace and let them keep their heads. Bits of chaos occur when their Auto-Translator, which enables them to speak and understand Japanese fails. Scieszka has a good time with the broad humor of a Japanese official named Owattabutt and the guide, Tada Honda, and his quick riff of what the boys see along the roadside, always a plus for funny books. McCauley's illustrations move the story along and look enough like Lane Smith's so as not to offend aficionados of the series. In addition, the boys' three great-granddaughters make an appearance here, as they did in the book 2095, a nice time wrap in this time warp. But, when they return, the boys' Haiku summary of their trip only earns them a C, because it didn't follow the form and it didn't give three examples, says their teacher, Ms. Basho. You just can't win 'em all. This is the tenth entry in the humorous "The Time Warp Trio" series.
School Library Journal
The Time Warp Trio is off again! This time, Sam, Fred, and Joe are working on a haiku writing assignment when they accidentally trigger their time travel Book and are transported back to old Japan. According to the rules, they can't return to the 21st century until they find the Book in the past. Unfortunately, it tends to hide in difficult and dangerous places-and important features like its "Auto Translator" keep malfunctioning. Posing as itinerant entertainers, the three friends encounter the warrior samurai Tada Honda, his cruel war leader Owattabutt, and even their own great-granddaughters who are time-traveling from the future (and who have a much more advanced understanding of the process). Haiku verses are sprinkled through the text. Elements of Japanese history blend with wild anachronisms and off-the-wall humor in an adventure that will be welcomed by children. The short text and snappy humor make the story a good choice for reluctant readers.
Kirkus Reviews
Guys writing poetry? What a radical concept. Horsing around over a homework assignment, the Time Warp Trio inadvertently utters a haiku near The Book, and is "flushed down four hundred years," to ancient Japan where, after heroically wiping out an empty suit of samurai armor, nearly getting sliced into sushi by plug-ugly samurai Owattabut (guess why) and meeting their own granddaughters (see 2095, 1995) paddling along on a temporal jaunt of their own, the three entertain the great Ieyasu Tokugawa himself with a string of haiku that propel them back to Brooklyn-but merit only a C- from their teacher, Ms. Basho. Aswirl with mini-lectures and crumbs of general information about Japanese poetry and society, the arbitrary plot line and wiseacre dialogue will elicit the usual rumbles-of laughter, that is. It's not the freshest of the Trio's escapades, but the author plainly isn't ready to throw in the bowel-er, towel, quite yet.
Booklist
In their latest slapstick historical journey, the Time Warp Trio spins back to seventeenth-century Japan, mixing with Samurais and royalty for more nail-biting adventures, near catastrophes, and raucous humor. But there's a new ingredient in this title: poetry. The fun of making up haikus plays a large role here, and even readers sworn off poetry will find themselves captivated by Scieszka's use of haiku and haiku-esque observations in the text, particularly towards the end. The blend isn't always seamless and sometimes it's contrived, but Scieszka makes it work by keeping the laughs and the irreverence high--tough to do with spare, reverent poetry. Fans of the series won't be disappointed, and teachers looking for poetry materials may also find classroom ideas here. Gillian Engberg |
