Time Traveling 
Time Traveling
By Zachary
Your Mother Was A Neanderthal is about three boys named Fred,Sam,and Joe who go to the past and see LIVE NEANDERTHALS!!! When they are there,they go through a lot of adventures such as teaching the Neanderthals to read and write.They got to the past by a book called The Book that Joe's uncle gave to Joe for his birthday.
Hope is found in this book because they hoped they would get back to the future because they were in the past.
A message in the story is never get ahead of your self.I agree with this because sometimes when I write stories,I put important things in front of other important things.Another is never give up.I agree with this because I never give up when hard things happen.
If I could trade places with a character in the story it would be Sam because I could recreate modern civilization in the Stone Age.
I think Sam represents intelligence because he can make clothes using leaves and vines.I think Joe represents magic because he knows a lot of magic tricks.
My point of view about the characters is I think Joe,Fred,and Sam are good characters.
Before I read Your Mother Was A Neanderthal I thought that you should give up if things were way to hard but after I read this book I changed my schema,now I think you should never give up.
I recommend this book to boys and girls because both might like the setting.Also recommend this book to kids in reading level 2 through reading level 4.I gave my book a 5 star rating.

My Review of Your Mother was a Neanderthal
I think this book should be rated 5 stars because it's really funny and has a lot of smart remarks. In the story Sam Joe and Fred, in other words the time warp trio travel to the time 40,000 BC. There they meet cavemen and cave women. The problem is that they have to find the magic book to get back to their own time. There they met three cavegirls who took them up to meet their leader Ma. Then Ma locked them up a cave and that's when thier problems started. But they finally escaped by running away when Ma opened the gate. After awhile they met cavemen and their leader Ug. Then Ug showed them maggot infested meat. When Sam Joe and Fred tried to get out of the smelly hole in the ground Ug pulled them down and said no caw. That's when they saw a sabre tooth tiger and they came up with an idea. They dressed like a really ugly monster and scared the tiger off. Then they went back to the cave and found the book. They used the book to go back home.

Mostly entertaining 
Overall, this was a pretty good book, but it doesn't match Knights of the Kitchen Table and Sam Samurie for Time Warp Trio fun. While it was entertaining to watch them run from the girls, hide from the sabertooth, etc., it was hard to believe that they were in any danger. The dialogue was often witty, but the plot a little thin which took away from the adventure. If you've read the other Time Warp Trio books, then you should read this one, but if you've never enjoyed the adventures of Fred, Sam and Joe you should try one of the better ones first.Also recommended - King Fortis the Brave - probably the best young adult fantasy book to come out since the Chronicles of Narnia were published.

Your Mother was a Neanderthal
The book that I'm reading is Your Mother Was a Neanderthal by Jon Scieszka. This book is very interesting and mysterious. It's all about going through time and seeing what life was like in the past. The part I like best is when they find the Neanderthal, but you'll have to find that out yourself. Anyone who likes to read fantasy should get this book. It makes you feel like your really there and this is no joke. I'm sure you will agree with me but that's your decision to make. This is a very good book for all ages even for adults and theirs a series too! Try the books that are The Time Warp Trio. Some other books you might want to try are Summer Reading Is Killing Me, 2095, and It's All Greek To Me! I have read mostly all of the series of the Time Warp Trio books and I'm still trying to finish it up. Try the best you can a getting these books and I hope you enjoy them!

An amusing sci-fi comedy
"Your Mother Was a Neanderthal," by Jon Scieszka, is a young adult novel in the "Time Warp Trio" series. The book features illustrations by Lane Smith. The story is narrated by Joe, a young schoolboy. With the aid of a magic book, he and his pals Sam and Fred travel back to prehistoric times. They have an adventure involving primitive humans and dangerous prehistoric beasts.This is a humorous story that is nicely complemented by Smith's surreal, funny drawings. The prehistoric characters are amusing and likeable, and the three "modern" heroes have an entertaining chemistry. Overall, a pretty good adventure.
