4-6Time-Tripping Faradays series.
Dawk and Hype are lucky: they get to travel back in time from the twenty-fifth century because their parents are research scientists. Alchemist explores the world of alchemy in seventeenth-century Prague; Dragon brings the siblings together with dragon-obsessed naturalist Pliny the Elder in Ancient Rome. Undeveloped protagonists aside, plenty of historical facts complement the action in these adventures. Review covers these Time-Tripping Faradays titles: The Alchemist War and The Dragon of Rome[c1].
