Join Jake and Ava, 11-year-old time travelers, on their latest adventure as they rescue those lost in time.

Soon the twins, their four-year-old cousin, and their furry companion find themselves in a misty forest in the distant past.
But it’s the wrong forest. They’re lost. Who can help them? Certainly not the first person they meet, a young man held captive by ruthless raiders. In fact, he needs their help, not the other way around.
Can Jake and Ava set things right? Find out in this fast-moving tale of bravery, friendship, and doing the good and right thing.

“Writing more than a time-travel adventure, Wheeler encourages all ages to consider God’s mandates, purpose, and mystery while placing the young characters in positions where they must make important decisions while staying true to moral values.
“These elements gift the added value of spiritual reflection during the process of vivid action and discoveries. All these elements translate to exquisite adventure reading.” — Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review, August 2025
