I’d probably only recommend Torn if you’ve read the other books in the series. Like, what is the point of messing with time? Why would anyone want to stop and destroy time completely? Is he doing it to be a dick or is their a legitimate reason - this inquiring mind wants to know. Does JB, their mentor/boss guy, have magic powers? Why those children? How exactly does the Elucidator means of travel work? Those are just a few questions I had, and MAYBE they would have been answered if I read the other books.ĪLSO, the bad guy is named Second and he is such a mustache twirling type of villain. I don’t understand how the children do it. Reading about crazy old Henry Hudson who is convinced about the Northwest Passage is riveting and I love when a book does that for my pet subject, HISTORY. And I say boring because I remember in school some teachers would take interesting thinks like the explorers and RUIN it but making it the most tedious thing ever. The good of Torn by Margaret Peterson Haddix is that it brings what most students consider to be a boring part of history to life. I would say for the most part Torn is not really as self-contained as I would have wanted it to be. While the premise is fantastic, I can’t help but find myself continually confused which may be attributed to not reading the previous books.
Katherine is turned invisible because there were no girls on that ship. Ultimately, Jonah only lives one day as John Hudson, but it’s a day of twists, turns, and betrayals. Jonah must take on the role of John Hudson to fix time.
In Torn, Jonah and Katherine are sent back to 1611 on Henry Hudson’s ship, The Discovery, right before the mutiny.
