How do you address an issue such as slavery in a time travel book for kids? The answer is to tread lightly and generally avoid the gruesome aspects. The resulting balancing act works adequately well enough in this Time Machine volume though a mature reader can easily spot the elephant in the room.

I'm reminded of a Louis C.K. joke, "Time travel is exclusively a white male privilege." (
