The Time Museum stars Delia Bean, a high school student and complete nerd who goes to her Uncle Lyndon. Turns out her Uncle is a time traveler from the future who works at The Earth Time museum, a museum that employs time travelers to collect artifacts for them, thus giving the museum the most complete collection of earth's history, employing people from all different ages. Delia is given the chance to intern at the museum by competing against other possible interns in a competition across time, but through their adventures, they get intertwined with the story of a rouge time traveler and his schemes.
I quite like this book, but *fill in the blank.* The characters are a bit hyperbolic, but it works well enough, and some of the characters have good chemistry, and the different times adds another layer of depth to them. The art is fabulous, but clashes with the character design. The characters have very cartoony designs, with very stretchy faces and limbs, while the backgrounds are more realistic and solid. Even so, it works well enough. The Story is simple. Very much a first book. The antagonist was weak and didn't have a clear motive or goal, and seemed to switch his character throughout his timeline. Overall, the book has some holes, but no deal breakers.
TL;DR: 7/10
