Mystery Book Theater #17: Time Travel
Jan 26th, 2010 by Kidsmomo

Imagine this is your life: you always feel out of place at school, your little brother gets picked on all the time, and your father has been missing for years. If you were suddenly offered the opportunity to find your dad, you’d probably jump at the chance, right? But what if you had to travel through time and space to get to him? And what if that kind of transportation wasn’t exactly… comfortable?

That’s exactly the situation for the main character in this week’s mystery book. Watch the video to see her experience hurtling through time and space, and then send in your guess of what book it’s from. We’ll name the first person to get it right in our next podcast!

UPDATE 2/2/10: Wanna know the book? Listen for the answer in our “Time After Time” Podcast, all about books involving time travel.
