Description
Percy Jackson fans will embrace this humorous time-travel adventure that sends Mel and his friends right into the Civil War’s Battle of Gettysburg.
Mel, Bev, and Brandon—the Left Behinds—are at it again. When the iTime app on their phones sends them to Washington, D.C., in 1863, they find themselves smack dab in the middle of the Civil War. They sit in on a séance with First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln and are shown every inch of the White House by Tad, the youngest Lincoln. But when they meet President Abe Lincoln himself, he is preoccupied with the fateful battle at Gettysburg, which is just under way.
The kids receive their marching orders—they must somehow travel to Gettysburg, make sure what’s supposed to happen does happen, save the Union, and be home in time for dinner. No biggie. After all, it’s only the entire future of the country at stake.
Includes an author’s note and information on Civil War reenactments and living history sites around the nation.
Praise for the Left Behinds series:

“This is Magic Tree House all grown up, and kids who once loved that time travel conceit will be delighted all over again.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Readers will charge through these super-short chapters like a Revolutionary soldier on the run.” —BookPage

- source:
- content: Kirby Heyborne's voice is youthful and his narration full of urgency. Both are a perfect fit for this novel of young 21st-century sleuths who travel through time (using the "iTime" app on their phones) to prevent their nemesis from altering the course of the Battle of Gettysburg. Heyborne voices all the amazement of 12-year-old Mel when he finds himself in 1863 Washington, D.C.. Heyborne gives him a tone of casual nonchalance as he remarks on oddities like the telegraph machine and echoes his completely flummoxed tone when he spots approaching Confederate horsemen. Heyborne switches between characters with aplomb--from Mel's sleuthing partner, Bev, to a dignified President Lincoln and a blustery Pinkerton employee--never losing the forward momentum of the story. With the approach of the final day of battle, listeners will be on the edge of their seats. A.R. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
