Chase Vaughn-Ragtime

I chose to read Ragtime because of the story. It seams very interesting seeing people who shaped America come in and out of a type of mash-up story. The book is about a family in New York who experience all of these other characters from other times in America's history after Harry Houdini crashes into a pole outside their house.

Chase, Ragtime was one of the books that I was interested in as well because of similar reasons as you. It looked interesting to read about a family interacting with some of the most well known people from other times.

Chase, I was considering in reading this book for the same reasons you did, but I also enjoyed the magical aspect the author incorporated in the plot line. I mean being part of a regular family and then getting to experience characters from other times in American History, sounds amazing to me.
