WARNING: DO NOT BELIEVE THE STORY YOU'RE ABOUT TO READ.
Well, you can believe some of it. There is some real history. But also hijinks. Time travel. And famous figures setting off on adventures that definitely never happened--till now. Time is getting twisted, and it's up to two kids to straighten things out.

The students of Ms. Maybee's class used to think history was boring, but that was before time started to get twisted! When a spaceship carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin leaves 1969 and lands in 1869 Texas cowboy Nat Love decides to trade in his horse for a trip to the moon. Can siblings Doc and Abby untwist history and get everyone back where they belong? Houston, we have a problem!

Check out Neil Armstrong and Nat Love, Space Cowboys and all of the hilarious books in the Time Twisters series.

Using his in-depth knowledge of American history, award winning author Steve Sheinkin creates exciting adventures through time with historical figures going AWOL and true fun facts about each person. History will never be boring again! Don't miss the other books in the Time Twisters series, including Abraham Lincoln, Pro Wrestler and Abigail Adams, Pirate of the Caribbean!

Industry Reviews

"Mixing history, humor, and cartoon illustrations, Sheinkin's new series for young readers blends the appeal of Scieszka's Time Warp Trio, Osborne's Magic Tree House, and Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series." --Booklist

"By the end, readers will have learned quite a bit of history along with the protagonists, without being bored at all [in this] silly story." --Kirkus Reviews

"[A] lively Abraham Lincoln-themed romp . . . The truth about historical figures, Sheinkin suggests, is more interesting than the myths, and Lincoln's story concludes with hints about the historical mix-ups that will figure into subsequent books." --Publishers Weekly

"
Black-and-white line drawings reinforce the silliness of the story, while the short chapters will keep reluctant readers hooked. A fun way to entice students to embrace what might seem, at first glance, like boring history." --School Library Journal

"A historical home run!" --Dav Pilkey, bestselling author of Captain Underpants

"Imagine what the world would be like if Steve Sheinkin had decided to become a NASCAR driver instead of one of the finest history writers I know of. Or what if Neil Swaab chose to be a pastry chef instead of becoming one of the most clever cartoonists alive? Well, those guys might be happy, but it would be a very dull world indeed because we wouldn't have the terrific Time Twisters series for our reading pleasure. If you want to have fun while simultaneously learning some truly valuable lessons about history, then you absolutely MUST read these books." --Nick Bruel, New York Times-bestselling author of the Bad Kitty series

"A dash of history. A scoop of fun. Give this book to hungry readers everywhere!" --Jennifer L. Holm, New York Times-bestselling author of The Fourteenth Goldfish, on Abigail Adams, Pirate of the Caribbean

Undefeated:

"A model of research and documentation as well as of stylish writing that tells an always absorbing story." --Booklist, starred review

"A gifted storyteller who never forgets the story in history. . . . Superb nonfiction that will entertain as it informs." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Most Dangerous:
"Easily the best study of the Vietnam War available for teen readers." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

The Port Chicago 50:
"Sheinkin delivers another meticulously researched WWII story." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

Bomb:
"This is edge-of-the-seat material." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review

The Notorious Benedict Arnold:
"American history is brought to life in this engaging story of revolution and treason." --School Library Journal, starred review
