Fabulous. Loved the Romanov story. There were a few twists and turns...VERY curious now as to who Johan really is in history!

Risked plays on the whole predestination/free-will debate more throughout the book, which was interesting, but the historical situation in this book isn't as great as it was in Caught. A fun, quick read with some interesting themes, but it still got bogged down a bit in the middle.

Very good. About the Russian revolution, and deals with different consequences of time travel.

Once again, I am floored by a Haddix book. I loved it so much...I would probably say that it's the best in the series so far. It only took a matter of hours to complete and I can't wait for the 7th book to be released!

This was one of my favorites of the series. I've always liked the story of Anastasia, and loved the cartoon movie, so it was nice to know a little bit of the background before starting this book.

This is an excellent continuation of the Missing series. Jonah, Katherine, and Chip are whisked suddenly and unexpectedly to 1918 Russia, along with Danielle and Gavin, who are actually Anastasia and Alexei Romanov. This is, of course, the eve of their demise. Unfortunately, the only elucidator they have is pre-programmed to do very little. Can they get out of the Russian past and return to the present time before it is too late for all of them? A must-read for fans of the series. I highly recommend starting this series from the beginning. It really won't make sense otherwise. Grades 5-8.
