Ben Franklin's in My Bathroom! by Candace Fleming

4.0

I saw this at the library and had to see what it was about. It's been a while since I've finished a book in one sitting (last summer, to be precise) but this one was a quick read and very fun. I love it when historical fiction weaves fact into the story, which this did very well through a chaotic day out with Benjamin Franklin. I actually did learn some that I didn't know, like he was a swimmer, so that's the mark of a good book in my opinion. The time machine is really awesome, based off of a crystal radio with years as kHz, and I seriously want to learn more about how that works.

Another bonus is the book ends with a historical note written in the voice of the narrator, which expands on some of the things mentioned, and a bibliography. And some good-natured jabs at us in the historical education business.
