The Drift House: The First Voyage by Dale Peck
5.0
This was a fun, fascinating time-travel story! There was just enough danger to make it interesting, not too much to make it scary or upsetting for the young reader.
The three Oakenfeld children visit their uncle at Drift House in Canada after their life in New York is disrupted by the destruction of the World Trade Center towers. Not long after their arrival, they are swept out on the Sea of Time with their uncle, where they are in peril of being pulled into the Great Drain. Through a series of adventures with the mermaids, the Time Pirates, the Island of the Past, and an older version of one of the children, they save "Time" before returning home.
