Caught by Margaret Peterson Haddix

Goodreads Summary:

Jonah and Katherine are accustomed to traveling through time, but when learn they next have to return Albert Einstein’s daughter to history, they think it’s a joke—they’ve only heard of his sons. But it turns out that Albert Einstein really did have a daughter, Lieserl, whose 1902 birth and subsequent disappearance was shrouded in mystery. Lieserl was presumed to have died of scarlet fever as an infant. But when Jonah and Katherine return to the early 1900s to fix history, one of Lieserl’s parents seems to understand entirely too much about time travel and what Jonah and Katherine are doing. It’s not Lieserl’s father, either—it’s her mother, Mileva. And Mileva has no intention of letting her daughter disappear.

Review:

This author is amazing! I have to say that this book, Caught, was the best book that I've read from her. She has an outstanding imagination. This book takes you to the future, where secrets of time travel unravel. We might all have thought of time as a straight line, with the left side as the past and the right side as the future. That's what everyone thought about time travel, before it was invented. But Haddix has thought differently. In this book, through the characters, I found out that Haddix had illustrated a picture of time. Time is circular, in which the past can change the future, and the future can affect the past. For example, a man might go back in time and somehow stopped his mother's marriage. If he stopped his mother's marriage, then how could he have been born in the first place, not to mention growing up and going back in time to stop the marriage? Time is perplexing, expecially with time travel involved.

Overall, I love this book. It's imaginary. That's true. But somehow, Haddix thought of all these factors of time travel, and they all seem very logical. This is a book that will totally get you hooked. It's amazing how Jonah and Katherine was living so normally, and when time travel gets involved, it messed up everything. This entire series, The Missing, is all based on future technology. Science fiction has always been my favorite genre to read. 

It's amazing how Jonah and Katherine was living so normally, and when time travel gets involved, it messed up everything. Time professionals rely on the two 21st kids to fix all the mess. They have been brought back to Albert Einstein and his family to fix the 1903. Can Jonah and Katherine somehow fix all the problems that Second, their once-friend-now-enemy has made, purposely, to ruin time? Can they fix time before it's too late?
