The Time Bike

The strangest things seem to happen to the Hall family--like the time Eddy and Eleanor had an adventure and found an enchanted diamond, or the summer their cousin Georgie flew with geese. Now their adventure is with time itself. It starts when Eddy receives an unusually large packing crate from his mysterious uncle, Prince Krishna, containing an old-fashioned bicycle, complete with a wicker basket--the kind of bike no self-respecting boy like Eddy would be caught dead riding. The bike possesses more than just a basket, however: It possesses the ability to travel through time, and soon Eddy is on the ride of his life! But trips through time can have unpredictable results, and they're not without danger....

Newbery Honor-author Jane Langton's beloved books about the extraordinary Hall family have been applauded by review journals, award committees, and fans alike. Now available together for the first time as The Hall Family Chronicles, the adventures that began in the first three chronicles continue in The Fledgling, a Newbery Honor Book, The Fragile Flag, and The Time Bike, available for the first time in paperback.The extraordinary Hall family lives in one of the most peculiar houses in Concord -- a home where magic seems to lie in wait around every corner. In The Fledgling, a magical goose-prince takes little Georgie Hall on enchanted journeys high above Concord. The Fragile Flag leads the Hall children on a cross-country expedition to help save the world. And in The Time Bike, a birthday present takes them to distant lands and forgotten times. Eleanor, Eddie, and Georgie's page-turning adventures offer fantasy readers a journey to remember.

Scholarly infighting can get a lot more violent than most outsiders realize, but usually that violence is confined to the printed page. Not so in Concord, Mass., where the arrival of Homer Kelly, an expert on the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson, has stirred up passions concerning a manuscript that may or may not have been written by Henry David Thoreau. Things come to a head during the town?s annual re-enactment of Paul Revere?s famous ride, when one of the ?Minutemen? turns up dead, still in full Revolutionary regalia. Accustomed to little more than the odd stolen bicycle, the local police are way over their head, but Kelly?in this, his first outing?proves as gifted at sleuthing as he is at scholarship.
