About the book
While spending the summer in a house by the sea, four cousins, Roger, Ann, Eliza, and Jack, discover a bank of wild thyme whose magic propels them on a series of adventures back and forth through time. Soon they find themselves riding for American rebels, bowing to Queen Elizabeth I, and even rescuing their own parents when they were children.
