About this book
In this revolutionary, action-packed adventure, all that stands between an evil villain and world domination is a pair of twelve-year-olds who just learned they're time travelers--what could go wrong?! Perfect for fans of City Spies, Treasure Hunters, and Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales.
Twins Pew and Basket Church dream of escaping the miserable misfortune of their isolated orphanage. Or, even better, the return of their unknown parents. But even in their wildest dreams, they never imagined the truth: The twins can travel through time.
Armed only with perplexing clues to their past and a time travel talisman that is key to their future, Pew and Basket embark on an epic quest. It takes them into George Washington's war tent and on a hunt for the Liberty Bell, from the battlefields of the American Revolution to a pirate republic in the Caribbean and beyond, all in a race to uncover the secrets of their family--and outsmart time's greatest villain.
History, mystery, humor, and adventure collide in this delightfully clever romp that heralds the arrival of James Patterson's newest blockbuster series.
