| | | In the tradition of "Treasure Island," "Nick of Time" is an epic adventure starring a young lad named Nick McIver, who uses a time machine to rescue two children taken prisoner by pirates. Along the way, Nick changes the course of events in two time periods.
Annotation:
Complexly plotted, filled with war and strife, time travel, and lots of excitement, NICK OF TIME spans two centuries and follows the bravery and adventures of 12-year-old Nick McIver. It?s 1939, Nick and his family live in a lighthouse where they come to Winston Churchill?s aid as the brewing storm with the Nazis heats up. But Nick?s discovery of a time machine left by an ancestor takes him to the early 19th-century, where another fierce battle awaits. Meanwhile, his brave and crafty sister, Kate, works with master detectives to fend off the German submarines. Turmoil, danger, and a sense of duty hold the family together as they fight the good fight.
| Praise| "Nick is the pluckiest, most likable boy-hero since Robert Lewis Stevenson's David Balfour (KIDNAPPED)." 5/1/2008 |
