Susan Shaver reviewing for Library Media Connection said that the novel was "full of wonderful description, unique historical English terminology, and lots of British flavor, the events of the first book in this time-travel trilogy will surely captivate and hold young readers." Melissa Moore reviewing for the School Library Journal praised the novel saying "history interweaves with science, social issues in both centuries are thrown in yet what readers will remember most is a fast-paced plot with a cliff-hanger ending and multidimensional characters who continue to inhabit their thoughts long after the book is closed. The Time Travellers has been praised for its excellent description of everyday living conditions in 18th-century England, while also being an enlightening read for children. Soon Gideon, Kate, and Peter are swept into a journey through eighteenth-century London and form a bond that, they hope, will stand strong in the face of unfathomable treachery. Before Gideon and the children have a chance to gather their wits, the Tar Man takes off with the machine-and Kate and Peter's only chance of getting home. Peter Schock and Kate Dyer have fallen straight from the twenty-first century, thanks to an experiment with an antigravity machine. Suddenly the sky peels away like fabric and from the gaping hole fall two curious-looking children. Gideon Seymour, cutpurse and gentleman, hides from the villainous Tar Man. The novel focuses on the adventures of Peter Schock and Kate Dyer in 1763 after being accidentally teleported there by an antigravity machine while chasing Molly, Kate's dog. This series has also been called The Enlightenment of Peter Schock. The Gideon Trilogy is a 2006 science fiction book series by Linda Buckley-Archer.
