"I loved the book and i will tell you about it. It is about the kids that are going to Albert Einstein. They are going there because Albert was thinking about time travel. they try to get him back to his other topics like E=MC2. But they lose the eludicator "it is the device that sends them back in time" because Mrs. Einstein saw it in their invisible hands which it looked like a compass. they follow her to their daughter who was 2 and sick. they find their friend there and she went in her tracer. when she was close to being dead she came out of her tracer and she looked like she was back to normal."

Caught Listener Reviews

" Enjoyable. Light. Easy read. Enjoy learning a little about history and usually find myself looking things up to learn more about the subject (this one the life of Einstein). "

" I fell in love with this book when I was new to the reading world. This book is full of well thought out ideas and many surprising twists. I wouldn't, though, recommend this book to someone who is trying to challenge themselves ; the book is one of the best books I've read, but Haddix a teen or an adult author it is clearly shown in her writing. Authors for children need to use less imagery and smaller words to keep the intended audience captivated. "

" Great series, excellent for kids of all ages! "
— Lynda, 2/4/2014 -
" Great book, loved how she made it so that time froze. It was dramatic, and I must admit that I was shocked when I found out what Mileva had done, and who JB really was was diffidently a shock. Can't wait to read the next book in the series! "
— Chelsey, 1/28/2014 -
" This series seems to get better and better. I love the mix of true history and the addition of some intrigue for unexplained happenings in history. This one made me sad quite a few times but I really enjoyed the twists in it. "
— Natalie, 1/24/2014 -
" the fifth book was one of the best in my opinion. Haddix keeps the same characters but adds a few more, such as the younger Albert Einstein and his wife, Mileva. Along there journey to 1903, Jonah and Katherine discover the shocking truth to the mysterious woman who was left behind in Einstein's shadow, leaving everyone, including JB reconsidering their fate.

" This may be a children's series but I enjoy it more than my kids. It's a quick read with good plot/characters. There are worse books that I could be reading. "

" 3.5 stars. Very "timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly". Series seems to be getting better written. "
— Megan, 12/21/2013 -
" Great book, much better than The Always War. Characters are nice and fleshed out, and great portrayal of Einstein & his wife. A bit hard to get into at first, but later got sucked in. Loved the part w/ the science teacher. "
— Wendy, 12/16/2013 -
" I love this series! The blend of Science Fiction and historical information is awesome. I have learned so much! "
— Angie, 12/10/2013 -
" The best of the series so far. This story arc gets even more and more epic with more twists, turns, and complications as Katherine and Jonah interact with Mileva Einstein (Albert Einstein's wife). "
— InYourFaceNewYorker, 12/10/2013 -
" Don't start the series with this book. I found Caught to be less appealing than earlier books. But I'll probably still read the next book. "

— Zoe, 8/25/2013 -
" I thought the book was good. I didn't love it, but somehow it managed to keep me interested long enough for me to get to the interesting parts. After I got to those parts, I felt like I was hooked, well hooked as much as you can be with a children's book. "
