A magical Romani trombone whisks twelve-year-olds Bro, Frankie, and Tom back to 1852 in their small Ohio town, a dangerous era for the three nonwhite kids as they are targets for slave traders. An ancient Chinese text and Morse code messages may help get them back. This original, humorous adventure novel is great fun for fans of history and time travel.
