The lives of three children, ages ten, five, and three, hang in the balance in the next Adventures in Time series. When Reece, Sean, and Bear become separated from the Professor and his miniature robot, ANNA, they meet thirteen-year old Dillon, who runs a country market stand. It seems an innocent enough place until two men riding horseback appear then Dillon appears terrified. Once the men leave, Dillon begs Reece and Sean to deliver a horse-drawn wagon to a town called Franklin. Against their better judgment, the twelve and ten year old agree wherein Dillon instructs them in the fine art of managing a horse-drawn cart. Partway to Franklin, they realize that there are people hidden underneath the layer of apples, but who are they? That mystery is quickly forgotten when the two men on horseback overtake and threaten them. Bear frightens them off, but at Franklin Miss Katherine asks them to take the next leg of the journey. This time there is no room for their protective dog. When their wagon breaks down, they are forced to take cover. The moment they discover the mystery inside the wagon, they also hear the men on horseback approach. When Reece's plan for escape fails, Samantha steps in to save them and complete the mission. All that remains is to return to the time machine. But will ANNA be able to override the time machine's navigational system and get them back home again?

When twelve-year-old Jeremiah Strout’s mom drags him to a boring new town, the only upside is the awesome mansion they now live in—and how many people the formerly-boring Jeremiah can impress with it. But when he finds a dusty old harp in the basement and strikes the strings, Jeremiah realizes that his awesome new mansion may be more dangerous than it appears. A huge beast of a man emerges out of nowhere, all wild hair and crazed eyes. Convinced that Jeremiah’s family stole the harp from his Clan, the stranger demands Jeremiah either travel back one thousand years to his world in retribution for the theft or willingly hand over the harp. Suspecting that the dirty old harp has more power than even the stranger realizes, Jeremiah reluctantly declines, only to have the stranger and his Clan kidnap his mom and threaten to burn down the entire town. The threat of a boring town is a distant memory for Jeremiah as he fights an entire Clan of barbarians in an effort to save his mom and protect his family name.
