Walker of Time by Helen Hughes VickWalker of Time was the story of a 15 year old Hopi boy named Walker Talayesva. After the unfortunate death of his Uncle Naat, Walker finds himself chasing a legend of his Uncle's past through Walnut Canyon. Throughout his exploration Walker finds Tag, the son of an archeologist in Walnut Canyon. The 2 of them end up getting zapped 800 years in the past. Walker and Tag soon run into an ancient Indian civilization that is extremely similar to the Hopi that Walker came from.
I found that Walker Of Time was a extremely good read. The way that many of the areas in the book were described was very in depth and helped make the area seem real in my head. I also liked the way that the characters were portrayed. Walker was really accepting of Tag and the Ancients were accepting of Walker. They didn't just make Tag a total idiot and everyone managed to get along, yet a conflict did still eventually develop. That was one of the few things I didn't like about the story. The conflict of Walker vs Naat's death seemed to develop way too slowly. It also felt like the conflict between Walker and Grey Wolf was too minute and random. There would be some event and then suddenly Grey Wolf attacks.
I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. It was a good, short, and entertaining book. A friend of mine even got extremely excited when he found out I was reading it. I hope to read the sequels soon!
