Tegan O'Malley: The Traveler in Time

Tegan, the door closed behind you. Tegan spun on a heel to see... What door? demanded Jason. The door we came through to get here, said Toni. I didn’t see any door, said Jason. Then how do you think we got here, dork? We walked here. Toni grimaced. Not here to the cemetery. Here to the past. How do you think we got here to the past? Jason had no answer, and for the moment, he had no understanding of their situation. Tegan had the answer, and she completely understood the predicament facing them. She had only two questions on her mind. When were they in the past? And, How were they going to get back to the present? Imagine yourself as a girl living in rural Wisconsin and you’ve recently celebrated your fourteenth birthday. Everything in your life is about to change for the unexpected. The most startling transformation will be the discovery of your gift. This talent allows you to open portals to history. You can pass through these doorways to the past, but there is only one catch. In the long-ago, you must find a different gateway that opens to your own time. Tegan O’Malley is that girl. Accidentally, she calls a stranger to the present, and when she does, she learns she is not the only person in her family who has a gift. While all these new found machinations swirl around her, Tegan has to deal with her everyday life. Before she knows it, the two spheres of her existence become intertwined with those of her best friend Toni and her nemesis Jason. While on a 4-H trip to some historic sites in the East, Tegan opens a time door in an old Philadelphia cemetery. Jason rushes through the door, and Tegan and Toni have to follow to bring him back. This proves to be no easy task, one that can only be accomplished with the aid of several very historic figures—and Tegan’s father.
