Reception
Sent is a New York Times Bestseller in kids' chapter books. Kirkus Reviews stated that "Haddix conveys quite a bit of real history painlessly to her target audience and even mixes in some physics ... Valuable fun for teens." School Library Journal said of Sent, "Full of interesting historical details, but muddy with the science of time travel, this is a fantastic follow-up to the first book ... The next installment can't come quickly enough."
