Pre-Owned Time Castaways #3: The Forbidden Lock (Paperback) 0062568221 9780062568229

In this action-packed conclusion to the Time
Castaways series from Liesl Shurtliff, New
York Times bestselling author of Rump,
it's up to the Hudson kids to defeat Captain
Vincent once and for all. With magic, mystery,
and adventure, this series is perfect
for fans of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and Percy Jackson.

With the power of the
Aeternum, Captain Vincent can rewrite history to create his perfect
future. And thanks to Alfred Nobel, the notorious inventor of dynamite, Captain
Vincent will soon be able to erase people from time altogether--including those
pesky Hudson kids.

Mass chaos unfolds as time periods begin crashing into one
another. Central Park becomes a playground for dinosaurs. The Metropolitan
Museum of Art is overrun by the very historical figures it features. And the
Hudsons begin to disappear, one by one, and Matt finds himself increasingly
alone.

But hope comes from an
unexpected source: a Vermillion rebel and Hudson ally has been
keeping her own timeline a secret. A race to the Forbidden City reveals that Captain
Vincent broke the lock on the three pillars of the universe--matter, space, and
time--that created order in the world.

Only the Hudson kids are able to mend
what he broke...and the key is in Matt's birthplace, Ciudad Perdida, the Lost
City of Colombia, where the Hudsons and Captain Vincent face off in the
ultimate showdown--a battle for time itself.
