When his dad invented a time machine, the last thing Ron Fleming ever expected to see was Ben Franklin sitting in his own living room. But now it's happened!
Given the daunting task of showing the founding father a city beyond his imagination, Ron takes Ben out into the Philadelphia of the Twenty First Century...and their adventure only begins there.
As they rebuild Ron's broken family ties, they will also discover the dangers of time travel. When Ben contracts a deadly time sickness, they must race to get him back to his own time and keep Ben from a corrupt senator bent on using time travel to rewrite American history and change the world as we know it forever.

"Ben by Josh Rubinstein" With Ben's 300th birthday approaching next year, this book is very timely. I love time travel so this was the ticket for me. The characters in this story had depth and I was engaged in the story from the first line. What an exciting concept, to be able to bring back our founding brothers. I think this book has great pacing, the story moved along, never getting bogged down. It was entertaining, suspenseful and a fast fun read. Well done.
