(4) 4-6 In their third adventure, African American time-traveling twins Xavier and Xanthe and their friends Rowan and Nina Popplewell travel to the California gold rush. Xavier almost loses himself while pretending to be an outlaw, but remembers in time about his quest and the safety of his companions. Though the plot can be jumpy, this clever fantasy is packed with historical facts.
