Marlo, her nervous little brother Corey, and their goofy best friend Greg never expected an old red spinning chair to change their lives. One after-school spin in their garage clubhouse, and-whoosh -they're hurled straight into Victorian London, where smog fills the streets and danger lurks behind every corner. Armed with nothing but their wits, curiosity, and a mysterious map that gives them missions through time, the kids discover they've been sent to save a boy wrongly accused of theft. But proving his innocence won't be easy-not when workhouses, constables, and cunning street kids stand in their way. Part historical adventure, part humorous time-travel mystery, The Dickensian Dilemma launches the Time Chair Chronicles, a series about courage, friendship, and fixing the past to save the future. Packed with wit, heart, and page-turning fun, it's perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and A Series of Unfortunate Events. Written in a tone that fits middle-grade adventure fiction-energetic, clever, and appealing to both kids (ages 10-14) and parents or teachers looking for smart, funny reads.
