    About this series

    Traveling across space and time can take you to some dangerous places.

    Eleven-year-olds Jake and Ava are seasoned time travelers babysitting their four-year-old cousin, DeeDee. After a day at the pool, DeeDee stoops to touch a strange coin in their driveway—and vanishes!

     Oh, no! What’s there to do but touch the coin too?

     The twins find DeeDee in a narrow desert canyon—facing a huge, fierce dragon. Clearly, it’s time to leave. Jake and Ava grab DeeDee’s hands and reach for the time-travel keys in their pockets. But their pockets are empty!

     A family-friendly action-adventure for ages 8-11, Book 2 in the Guardians of Time series.

    Book 1 was named winner of a Purple Dragonfly Award and also a finalist for the prestigious Selah Award for Christian Fiction.

    Dawn Ford, middle grade author of Woodencloak, says:

    I adore this newest, action-packed adventure in the Guardians of Time series! When our heroes Jake and Ava, along with their little cousin DeeDee, get hurled back in time to a desert valley full of dragons, they have to rely on faith, and a heaping helping of bravery, to get them out of this puzzling mess.

    Phyllis Wheeler weaves in many elements of the Bible and history into this fun story. Your children will love how the characters overcome the obstacles they face and will learn along with the characters how to step beyond themselves to do the right and brave thing. Parents will love this tale as will their children and grandchildren as it has a little something for everyone.

     I recommend this book for young kids who love dragons, history, and adventure!

      An award-winner! This chapter book received a Purple Dragonfly Award from Story Monsters Magazine and also was a finalist for the prestigious Selah Award for Christian Fiction. Eleven-year-old Jake is amazed when a teenage boy kidnaps the family dog and vanishes. Jake and his twin Ava are determined to find their dog, and soon they use an abandoned key to seek help in--of all places--a clock shop. This clock shop travels through time and space, piloted by a 700-year-old Swiss alchemist. But the dog snatcher isn’t easy to catch. He’s a centuries-old alchemist too.  A family-friendly chapter book full of surprises, including a trip to France in 1680. --- "Ever since my son has read that book he is wanting to read more. (Smiley face) I am so grateful.”--Mrs. Kennedy.  “A wholesome romp through time, and readers learn a little history about Vienna and Lyon along the way.” —Author of the beloved Andi Carter books, Susan K. Marlow  “This is a fun journey of laughter and learning. The mystery includes a pirate key, an ancient clock shop, forgiveness, truth, new friends and family ties that warm the heart.”—Azalea Dabill, author.   “I really think it’s a great book. It’s interesting and definitely engaging.”—E.S., age 10.
