About This Book

Harry isn’t just any kid—he’s a time traveler who dares to change history. When he tries to save his sick sister, he tumbles into a dangerous Jerusalem where kindness has been lost and chaos rules. Can one boy’s courage rewrite the past and bring hope back to a broken world?

Quick Assessment

This middle-grade novel follows 15-year-old Harry as he time travels to ancient Jerusalem during a period of turmoil and distorted teachings of Christ. It explores themes of faith, courage, and family, particularly Harry’s mission to help his sister who is battling cancer. Suitable for ages 9-12, it contains historical religious content and mild peril but is appropriate for readers interested in adventure with spiritual elements.
