Running Out of Time is a book about a girl, named Jessie, who is living in a living history museum set in the 1840's but outside the museum it's 1996.  A lot of the children are getting sick. The children in the museum believe it's 1840, but the adults know the truth.  Now Jesse has to escape the museum which is surrounded by guards who most likely will kill her if they find her, dodge hidden cameras, find something called a phone, and call a  man named Mr.Neely to ask him to get 1996 medicine before all the children get sick, and maybe die. I'd recommend this thriller to anyone!

Running Out Of Time was a really good book because it always left me in suspense. If you are the kind of person who likes mystery books, then this book will be cherished for a lifetime.

Running Out Of Time is about a little girl named Jessie, who is sent out into the world to do a very scary task that could cost her very own life.

Running Out Of Time is about a girl, Jessie, and her life in what she thought was the 19th Century. When her mother sends her on a mission, she finds that she is living in the 20th Century in the reconstructed 19th Century village of Clifton. There are people watching her every move inside the walls of that village. Her mission is to get someone to help her family and friends with the diphtheria epidemic.

I liked Running Out of Time because it had a lot of emotions and action. I recommend this book to people who like learning about the 19th Century.
