When Mira receives a cryptic postcard from her missing mother, she
sets off with her father and brother to find her in Paris. Only Mira
doesn't know she's looking in the wrong century.
With an innocent
touch to a gargoyle sculpture on the roof of Notre Dame, Mira is
whisked into the past. There she learns her mother isn't just avoiding
the family, she's in serious trouble. Following her mother's clues, Mira
travels through time to help change history and bring her mother home.
"Long
after I finished this fast-paced and compelling novel, I thought about
Mira. Would I be as determined in pursuit of truth and tolerance? Would
you?" --Karen Cushman, Newberry Medal Winner
Charlie Joe Jackson, the most reluctant reader ever born, made it his
mission in the first book to get through middle school without reading a
single book from cover to cover. Now he's back, and trying desperately
to get straight A's in order to avoid going to academic camp for the
summer. In order to do this, he will have to betray his friend, lose the
girl of his dreams, and end up acting in a school play about the
inventor of paper towels. Charlie Joe's not exactly the "school play
kind of guy", but desperate times call for desperate measures.
