The Westfallen Trilogy (Hardcover Boxed Set): Westfallen; Into the Fire; The World at Midnight

By Ann Brashares and Ben Brashares

"What a thrilling--and chilling--adventure " --Margaret Peterson Haddix, New York Times bestselling author, on Westfallen

From Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants author Ann Brashares and her brother Ben Brashares comes an action-packed, New York Times bestselling middle grade alternate history thriller trilogy that asks what it would be like in present-day America if Germany had won World War II--all three books now available together in one hardcover boxed set

Henry, Frances, and Lukas are neighbors, and they used to be best friends. But in middle school Frances got emo, Lukas went to private school, and Henry just felt left behind. When they come together again for the funeral of a pet gerbil, the three ex-friends make a mind-blowing discovery: a radio, buried in Henry's backyard, that allows them to talk to another group of kids in the same town...in the same backyard...eighty years in the past.

The kids in 1944 want to know about the future: Are there laser guns? Flying cars? Jetpacks, at least? Most of all, they want to know about the outcome of the world war their dad and brothers are fighting in. Though Henry is cautious--he's seen movies about what happens when you disrupt the fabric of time--soon the present-day kids are sending their new friends on a mission to rescue a doomed candy store. What harm could that do?

But one change leads to another, until Henry, Frances, and Lukas wake up in Westfallen, the version of present-day America that exists when the Axis winds WWII. Henry has to work at the Home for the Incurables, Lukas is on hard labor all day with other Jews, and only Frances, whose parents are members of the Nazi elite, gets to go to school and move freely.

With sinister parties willing to do whatever it takes to keep Westfallen a reality, all six kids--past and present--will have to use all their courage and ingenuity to swim against the tide of time and restore the future.
