J. J. and Henri are sixth graders who receive important gifts from their grandparents. J. J. gets a bracelet, and Henri receives a necklace. These give them the ability to control time. Johnny (J. J.), Henrietta (Henri), and Dr. Emory (Dr. M) could be your next-door neighbors. They are outgoing, friendly, and willing to help out anytime. J. J. and Henri are finishing their last few weeks in sixth grade at Millville Elementary School. Dr. M is a well-liked and respected sixth grade teacher. Millville is a small but vibrant town. There are several lakes nearby providing fishing, boating, and swimming. Two years ago both kids lost their fathers in a mysterious disappearance. Only their grandmothers and Dr. M know where they are. The story starts out with a treasure hunt that results in J. J. finding the bracelet his great-grandfather has left him. It’s an ancient piece that has special powers that only J. J. can access. Henri’s grandmother lives on a nearby lake. She gives Henri the necklace while on a boating trip across the lake to a special picnic area. A spy overhears Gramma Tessie tell Henri about the mysterious power of the necklace. The story follows these kids and two of their close friends as they grow, mature, and develop courage, character, and a belief in themselves. They have successes and failures just like everyone else and grow stronger through their experiences. J. J. first uses his power over time when his good friend, Mike, falls out of a cherry tree they have climbed together many times and dies. Henri first uses her power when she and her good friend, Erika, are caught in the back of a convenience store when a masked robber comes in and fires a gun during a robbery. Dr. M is a mentoring teacher who will help guide the kids as they learn to control their powers. He and the kids’ grandmothers share a deadly secret they soon must share with the kids regarding their futures. A threat to the Earth’s water supply looms and the future of the entire world will rest on the shoulders of J. J., Henri, Mike, and Erika. An ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled and a battle against overwhelming odds will soon materialize.
