“Would you rather be transported magically into an imaginary world or a different time period in this world?”
Both!
There are several imaginary worlds I would like to be transported to. Here are the books they are from:
- Gregor the Overlander series
- Kiki Strike series
- Percy Jackson and the Olympians series
- Chronicles of Narnia
- Harry Potter series
Narnia, c. Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Hogwarts, c. 1998
And there some time periods I would like to visit.
Ancient Rome/Greece/Egypt would be cool. I think ancient history is interesting, and I would love to see what buildings like the Acropolis, the Colosseum, and the Pyramids of Giza looked like when they were new. Actually, I would like to see what the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World looked like when they were first built. I would want to see what life was like back then too.

I’d like to see what North America (minus the 13 colonies) like prior to, I don’t know, 1770? Before people started to settle the West. It would be neat to see absolutely no houses in sight. It would also be cool to see all the animals like buffalo.
I would also like to visit the Revolutionary War time period. It would be fun to talk to Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. But not Thomas Jefferson. (Just kidding, Dad!)
Benjamin Franklin, c. 1780?
So I need to get to work on my time machine…
