The C-Gate Files: Book 1

By Mike Newhouse

When ten-year-old Mike stumbles on two ancient, C-shaped devices stamped with strange symbols, his life tilts from ordinary to impossible. Using a starter electronics kit, careful notes, and a lot of nerve, he powers the artifacts and opens a shimmering "C-Gate" that can nudge time forward or back-at a cost he doesn't yet understand. As Mike maps the rules (minutes, directions, coordinates) and tracks every experiment, bigger questions surface: Who built the C-Gates? Why were they hidden with DOE/USAF/NASA leftovers? And what happens when curiosity outruns caution?
The C-Gate Files is a STEM-infused, middle-grade adventure series about discovery, consequences, and the courage to do the right thing-told with heart, humor, and plenty of wow. Ideal for ages 9-13 and fans of science mysteries and time-twisty quests.
