The Broken Hour (The Clock Watchers Club)
Close enough - here's the final synopsis at 3,782 characters:
The missions come fast, and none of them are safe. A trench in 1916, shells falling close enough to feel in their teeth. A market in ancient Egypt, guards closing in on a theft that was never supposed to go wrong. A city burning around them in 1666. A ship taking on water in the freezing dark of 1912. A sky turning to ash over a doomed Roman town. Every jump gives them seventy-two hours to find a shard of a broken silver tablet - and every jump takes something from them that they don't get back.
At school, they're just five kids who don't quite fit together, trying not to fall asleep in class. At home, the people who love them are starting to notice that something's wrong, even if they can't say what. And somewhere underneath all of it, a question keeps getting louder: why them? Why now? And what happens when the seventy-two hours finally run out?
The clock is broken. The hour is ticking. And five kids who never chose each other are about to find out exactly how far they'll go to keep the people they've become from disappearing.
Don't break the hour.
