Fine middle grade read, especially for fans of light sci-fi and shenanigans. Do wish it had a bit less of the "smart folks" vocab lessons - maybe if it had led to something it would have been a different story, but as it was, it mostly came off as grating after a while - but a thoroughly satisfactory read.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. It was a cute story about Julian and his etab. I don’t want tia spoil what happens but I really enjoyed this one. There were a few quotes that I highlighted because I felt that these were good messages for the intended audience for this book.

Julian's father is an inventor, who comes up with strange contraptions. One of his latest inventions is an eTab that lets Julian time travel. Julian has quite the quick wit and handles difficult situations be using his brain to outmaneuver trouble makers. The life lessons are real.
The Extraordinary eTab reminded me of the movie Big which was enjoyable.
I want to thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Julian meets his future self, who asks for his help and eTab to time travel to the Civil War and then back home so as not to get into any trouble with his parents.
Weird? Yes, but cool weird.

Long story short, I liked the interaction between father and son, and between the two Julians. The writing was good, there was an emphasis on synonyms, which offers another layer to the take-home of the book.
