Patalosh: The Time Travelers

Ten-year-old Orion Spence never expected to wake up on the Exploricus to horrible news after his birthday. The first officer of the time-traveling airship tells him that his parents, who serve as captain and science officer, have been kidnapped by the evil Emperor Daaggerd and taken to his secret hideout at the Ice Castle of Fire. The emperor is looking to gain control of the Exploricus and also the Ancient Book of Spells, a powerful book Orion's family is pledged to protect.

Orion joins forces with the airship's officers and his friends to begin a desperate chase across space and time to save his family. First, Orion must unravel the clues to the seven keys on each continent needed to open the book. Then, he must pass deadly tests of strength, honesty, leadership, and everything else that is important to be the keeper of the Ancient Book of Spells.
