Finn and the Time-Traveling Pajamas (The Finniverse #2)
by Michael Buckley (Author)
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Sisters Grimm and NERDS comes the second book in an action-packed middle grade series with equal parts humor and heart!
When Finn is saved from the Time Rangers by an older version of himself, it comes with a catch. Old Man Finn needs Finn and his friends, Lincoln and Julep, to help him win battles he lost years ago against the Paradox, a terrible creatures obsessed with revenge against Finn's father. If they succeed, he promises to tell Finn where his father is. He even gives them a pair of time-traveling pajamas to help them with their quest.
There's only one problem. The pajamas malfunction almost immediately. Along the way the kids avoid being eaten by sabretooths, shot by revolutionary war soldiers, and start a war with a town full of holograms, all in an effort to fix the jammies.
Just when their goal is in sight, Julep gets sick. Only...it doesn't seem like she's sick. It seems like she's changing. The adventure may cost Finn more than an old pair of pajamas--it may cost him his friends!

Gr 4-7--This second entry from the "Finniverse" series continues where the first volume left off. Finn is saved from the Time Rangers by an older version of himself. But Old Finn needs Finn to help destroy a terrible monster called Paradox, who is obsessed with revenge against Finn's father. Old Finn promises to tell Finn where his father is, if he agrees to help destroy Paradox. He is given a pair of cowboy pajamas that are actually a time machine, and told not to take them off, or the time line will reset and anything they changed in the past will affect the present. But the pajamas malfunction, leaving Finn and his friends stranded in the distant past and then the far distant future. An amazingly fun romp filled with humor and heart, this is a series that is sure to gain popularity. This installment doesn't stand alone, and readers are better served by reading the series opener. Buckley also throws in nods to classic movies like The Matrix, Back to the Future, and Planet of the Apes. The plot is crafted in such a masterly way; the final twist is devastating, and fans will beg for the next volume. VERDICT A must-buy for middle grade sci-fi fans.--Patrick Tierney, Pascoag P.L., RI
