About
History is supposed to be dull. Who knew it could also be dangerous?
Time-travel should be a fun adventure... right? And yet Kristen and Brad find that being stuck in the past is anything but.
The Everhearts are taking part in a battle re-enactment of the American Revolution when they inexplicably find themselves back in 1777, on the eve of a battle for independence and liberty. They have no way of knowing what's going on; all they can do is try to get through the day. The siblings meet Rebecca, who needs to deliver a message of vital importance to the revered General Washington. They also team up with a tavern-owner's son in order to escort Rebecca back to Philadelphia. In the rush along the way, they deal with a spymaster, colonial deserters, and British soldiers who keep getting in the way.
And they still have to figure out how to get back to their own time....
