About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'what if' questions about the past or feels frustrated by the dry facts of a history textbook. This is an ideal bridge for the reader who craves the high stakes of a modern thriller but is ready to engage with the complex social structures of the Elizabethan era. It is a story about the weight of responsibility and the realization that our actions, however small, ripple through time. As Jack and Angus navigate 16th-century London to stop a plot against the Queen, they face real moral dilemmas about whether it is right to 'fix' history. The narrative balances fast-paced action with thoughtful encounters with historical figures like Shakespeare and Marlowe. Parents will appreciate how it humanizes historical icons while maintaining a clean, adventurous tone suitable for middle-grade readers who are beginning to explore the nuances of justice and loyalty.
