- Synopsis
- Everything about going to visit the Harpers Ferry Civil War Museum is mysterious: the war-torn uniforms, the guns, the battlefield photographs. Then Michael and Derek are invited by the strange museum director to "play a game," and before they know it, they're walking through a door straight into 1862. It's only the beginning as they are whisked by carriage to the battlefields at nearby Antietam only days after the battle. There, assisting a Civil War photographer, they see for themselves battlefield after battlefield, finally coming face-to-face with Abraham Lincoln himself. And they begin to wonder--is this a game after all? Once again, beloved storyteller Patricia Polacco brings history to vibrant life, this time a pivotal moment of the entire Civil War. Readers will be intrigued by the time-travel mystery and the idea that museums just might be a doorway into actual history.
