The kids in Mr. Caruthers's class don't want a world without cartoons. Can they persuade Walt Disney to pursue his passion? Book two in an action-packed time-travel series. "What if Walt Disney quit and never made Steamboat Willie ?" That's the question Mr. Caruthers poses to his third grade class on Monday morning. Abigail, Jacob, Zack, and Bo are excited to travel back in time and meet Walt Disney, and they're determined to convince Mr. Disney not give up making the first animated movie with sound. After all, what would their world be like without modern cartoons? Not to mention no Mickey Mouse, no Disneyland, and no Disney Channel But will the kids be able to help Mr. Disney follow his dream before time runs out?
Disney's Dream was very good because I learned a lot about Walt Disney that I never knew before. I also liked it because the author was very good at describing Walt Disney's feelings. I recommend this book to people around the ages of 7-10 years old. I have read every book in the series and find they are an excellent and fun way to learn about history. The Blast to the Past books really bring the characters to life in an exciting way. I can't wait for the next book to be written so I can read it at once! Michelle J Age 9 San Diego, CA

I liked Blast to the Past, Disney's Dream. It's about Mr. Disney quitting inventing Steamboat Willie, the first cartoon with sound. It was sort of funny when they were working on Steamboat Willie and the sound tube kept exploding. They took Mr. Disney to the future and he thought his partner made Snow White with color and sound but Mr. Disney really did it. I would recommend this good book.
I Love Blast to the Past!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your stories are great! I love to read the facts and the fiction parts. Oh yeah, and thanks for coming to my Young Writers Camp, Stacia! After you write about the King Blast to the Past, you could write one on Harrit Tumbman.
