On his second trip to 2017, he encounters a beautiful stranger. He meets the woman in the window.
\nWithin hours, Mary Beth and Mark share their secret with her sister and his brother and begin a journey that takes them from the present day to the age of sock hops, drive-ins, and jukeboxes. In CLASS OF \u201959, the fourth book in the American Journey series, four young adults find love, danger, and adventure as they navigate the corridors of time and experience Southern California in its storied prime.<\/span><\/p>\nReview:<\/h2>\n
\nI adore this series.\u00a0 I was ecstatic to see that this story went in a completely different direction than that of previous ones.\u00a0 Mary Beth, Mark, Ben and Piper made this such an engaging and exciting read.\u00a0 Time travel mixed with some history and a little romance made this one of my favorites of this series.\u00a0 The atypical way the tunnel is used and how it is discovered made this feel like it truly revived the series.\u00a0 I was truly glad to see that though the basic principals were within this book, making it part of the series, but the lack of Professor Bell as a prominent part allowed the story to flow very differently.\u00a0 Overall, If you haven’t read any of the American Journey books yet I would suggest you start.\u00a0 You won’t regret this bit of adventure, history and love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
