The Timespinners

Luli Gray. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), $15 (160pp) ISBN 978-0-618-16412-7

Luli Gray brews up another compelling fantasy concoction in Timespinners. Fig and Allie Newton, 10U-year-old fraternal twins, embark on an amazing time-travel adventure when they step into the lynx exhibit at New York City's American Museum of Natural History. Trapped first in 1913 and then in 35,000 B.C., the twins desperately try to get home again, even as they hope that changing the past will alter a terrible present, where their mother lies trapped in a coma.
