About the Book

Sock hops. Soda fountains. Slumber parties. Life in 1955 is simple for tomboy Beverly, moody Maxine, high-spirited Judy, studious Mary, and artistic Ann. But after a class assignment to predict life in the future, they wake up the next morning in a future they could never have imagined, having time-travelled into a parallel universe over fifty years into the future. With only each other to trust, they must work together and find their way home to 1955, but the more they discover about the future, will they even want to go back?

Table of Contents:
Preface; Right Starts; Entrees; Sides; Dessert; Index.

Media Appearances: Internet: 1/10/12Book Giveaway and Author Interview: http: //blkosiner.blogspot.com/2012/01/book-giveaway-and-author-interview_10.html 1. The Twitter version: tell us about your book in 140 characters orless. In Travel to Tomorrow, 5 mismatched teens from 1955 time travel to present day after a school assignment to predict life in the future. 2. How did you get the idea for the story? I love the nostalgia of the1950s and was sketching different teeny bopper girl characters when I began wondering if life was truly a simpler time in the 50s, which we hear so often, or if life is better now (with technology, civil rights, etc). I set out to answer the question by writing the Fifties Chix book series featuring the characters I d doodled (now the artwork is done by another artist, Astrid Sheckels, who captured the characters perfectly!). There are diary entries in the book from each of the five girls; I love that kind of stuff because you get a peak at not only the secret lives of the girls, but at the time period (the 50s) through their eyes. 3. Which character would you most/least like to have dinner with? This isa tough one, because *of course* I think all of the characters in the Fifties Chix books are fascinating (I spend time with them every day, after all). I think at the moment, it s a tie: I d most like to have dinner with Maxine Marshall, the super-smart and introspective Fifties Chix character or Miss Boggs, the quirky and lovable teacher who gave the assignment that made them time travel. We d have a lot to talk about and I have many questions for them! I d least like to have dinner with popular girl Diane Dunkelman; she makes me so mad. She s just mean and she does not bring out my best qualities! 4. What are some of your favorite books? Do you still have much time toread? My all-time favorite book for fiction/pleasure reading is To Kill a Mockingbird. Harper Lee writes about such heavy and significant things from the light and innocent pe Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers. For future Top Ten Tuesday topics, check them out here! Okay so some of these may not be strictly 'Historical Fiction'... I cheated a bit on a few of them.;) But they take place in the past, or have characters from the past... That counts, right? 2- Travel to Tomorrow- I read this book several months ago, the publisher sent it to me. I even got to intereview the author! Then my computer died and I lost the review, the notes I'd taken during the interview... I'm was slightly traumatized. However, thank heavens, one of my wonderful neighbors saved my computer and the document! I'll be able to post it soon. Check this novel out, it's not strictly historical fiction... But seriously, read it. http: //brokeandbookish.blogspot.com/2012/03/kimberlys-top-ten-historical-fiction.html *FIFTIES CHIX series name and author (Angela Sage Larsen) already mentioned and covered through national media, such as - Epoch Times, New York Times, Publisher's Weekly.
