Little did she know, that was just the beginning. Now Hazel’s summer includes babysitting her 6-year-old sister while she runs wild through time, helping her grandfather return stolen items to their places in history, and uncovering a bunch of family secrets that keep getting stranger and stranger the more she finds out about them. But Hazel is one of the most dependable rule-followers around, so she can handle it. Or can she? Sick of her “responsible image,” Hazel is left with more than a few tough choices. But one of the toughest comes when she realizes that if she and her sister are going to survive on the Underground Railroad, she might have to rethink her law-abiding ways and find the true meaning of courage.
