My Thoughts:
Dan Renfrew is homeschooled. He doesn’t have friends and doesn’t like the education at home. One day, he is transported to a strange place, and he has to figure out where and when he is. He later learns that he is in Anglo-Saxon England, and the year is 1066. He could never imagine that his knowledge of this time, events, and battles would pay off someday.
This is a wonderful jump-in-time novel for young adults, and the readers can learn about the history and events that took place in 1066 in Anglo-Saxon England. At the beginning of this story, Dan is a typical teenager who thinks everything is boring and useless, like his education, for instance. But he soon realizes that all the unusual and comprehensive knowledge his father taught him was not in vain.
Again, great narration by Mark Sanderlin.
This is book one in a series of seven novels. I can’t wait for the next adventure.

About the Narrator:
Mark Sanderlin is an audiobook narrator based in New York City. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, he found a love of acting, voiceover, and music at a young age.
