Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic By Armand Baltazar, Armand Baltazar (Illustrator) Cover Image

Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic (Paperback)

By Armand Baltazar, Armand Baltazar (Illustrator)
$12.99

First in a series by renowned animator Armand Baltazar, this 600 page tome is filled with over 150 full color illustrations that lend a deeper meaning to this terrific fast paced action-fantasy time mash-up with dinosaurs, robots, steam engines, pirates, WWII planes and gravity boards all coexisting along with teenager Diego and his 3 friends who fight the villians wanting to undo time. This epic novel for ages 9+ is a worthy heir to the Harry Potter series. I absolutely LOVE this book and am predicting great things for Diego's continuing story.

(Fantasy, ages 9+) - Reviewed by Maureen
