From Liesl Shurtliff, the New York Times bestselling author of
Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin, comes a thrilling new middle
grade trilogy about three city kids who get on the wrong subway train
and wind up on a wild, magical mystery-adventure throughout time.
Imaginative, daring, and packed with fun, Time Castaways is perfect
for fans of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and Percy
Jackson.**
Mateo, Ruby, and Corey Hudson's parents don't have too many rules. It's
the usual stuff: Be good. Do your homework. And never ride the subway
without an adult, EVER. But when the siblings wake up late for school,
they have no choice but to break a rule. The Hudson siblings board the
subway in Manhattan and end up on a frigate ship in Paris...in the year
1911.
As time does tell, the Hudson family has a lot of secrets. The past,
present, and future are intertwined--and a time-traveling ship called
the Vermillion is at the center. Racing to untangle the truth, the
kids find themselves in the middle of one of the greatest art heists of
all time.
And the adventure is just getting started.
