And in the wink of a very special cat’s eye, they’re off. From ancient Egypt to Japan, from the land of young Leonardo da Vinci to the town of a woman accused of witchcraft, Jason and Gareth are whisked from place to place and friend to foe.

Now their adventure is with time itself.

But trips through time can have unpredictable results, and they're not without danger....The Time Warp Trio 14: Da Wild, Da Crazy, Da Vinci  You probably know that Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa. Did you know that he also invented an early version of a helicopter and a tank, and that he planned to execute the Time Warp Trio for spying on his inventions? Sam's bright idea to look for the inventor of the Book takes the guys to 15th century Italy to meet up with Leonardo. But it's going to take at least three more bright ideas, two magic tricks, and one great invention to get them out of trouble and safely back home. If not, it could be a lifetime of Italian army toilet-cleaning detail for Joe, Sam, and Fred.The Time Warp Trio 11: Hey Kid, Want to Buy a Bridge?  The Time Warp Trio is staying home for once. Joe, Sam, and Fred are going to work on Sam's latest invention, and Joe's got the perfect way to keep The Book from getting lost.

The Time Warp Trio 10: Sam Samurai  They've conquered the summer reading list, Greek monsters, and Roman gladiators, but a poetry assignment? Stuck writing haikus for English class, Joe, Sam, and Fred take one little break from doing their homework and BAM!-they land smack-dab in the middle of seventeenth-century Japan. But how will the boys search out The Book and find their way back home when they're busy dealing with grumpy samurai warriors with really big swords?"You say there's nothing for boys to read? Never fear, the Time Warp Trio has arrived." (Booklist) The Time Warp Trio 10: Sam Samurai  The Time Warp Trio 9: See You Later, Gladiator  Joe, Sam, and Fred discover that "When in Rome, you might not really want to do as the Romans do." Hard knock gladiator school, cheating chariot racers, and a poison-packing emperor are just the beginning of the guys' Roman education.

To keep their odyssey from becoming a Greek tragedy, the gang needs to find The Book, and fast!The Time Warp Trio 7: Summer Reading is Killing Me!  In Summer Reading Is Killing Me!, illustrated by innovative artist Lane Smith, the boys find themselves trapped in a dreadfully skewed literary world where Joe, the narrator, says "I saw Homer Price being carried by the Headless Horseman. Dracula was dragging Winnie the Pooh in a headlock. Mr. Twit was breaking Harold's Purple Crayon." It becomes the boys' charge to find "The Book" and yank the summer reading list out of it before children's literature is destroyed forever as the "bad" characters knock off the "good" characters and take over the stories. The literary references accelerate to a breakneck pace: "We stepped over a very hungry caterpillar eating his way through a dictionary.... We made our way through a crowd of Robinson Crusoe, a blue moose, Julie with some wolves, a snowman, a plain and tall lady named Sarah, a kid with a hatchet, and a very confused-looking Robin Hood helping Eeyore reattach his tail." Whether or not young readers register every literary allusion is inconsequential—Summer Reading Is Killing Me! is a rollicking, sarcastic, ultraweird, suspenseful adventure that kids will like regardless. And for teachers, parents, and librarians who are deeply enmeshed in kid-erature—it's purely delicious.The Time Warp Trio 6: Tut, Tut  When Joe's sister accidentally opens "The Book", Joe, Sam, and Fred suddenly find themselves in ancient Egypt, dodging crocodiles, outwitting an evil high priest, and searching for an escape route from a mummy-making chamber!.The Time Warp Trio 5: 2095  As the Time Warp Trio travel to the future, Joe, Sam and Fred are chased by relentless ID checking robots, traumatized by having to pay $150 for a slice of pizza, and surprised to find a long lost relative.
