Written by Victor Piñeiro
Time Villains is the first in a new series of fast-paced middle-grade novels. It is a fun book that includes a good combination of magic, imagination, and adventure. The story is about a boy Javi who dreams of being a chef and doesn’t think that he is a leader, his friend Wiki, who is the thinker and his sister Brady, the tough one. They find a table on a shopping trip with their father at an antique store and they bring it home. They soon find out that this table has the power to bring people from the past or fiction to life. This causes all sorts of problems when Blackbeard is one of the unintentional invitees. It was an enjoyable read that I think children in my library will enjoy reading. The storyline moved quickly, had good descriptions, and was humorous.
