eBook Description: One of Canada's top scientists has found the secret to time travel. But something has gone horribly wrong.... On the first day of school, in a new city, Sarah Sachs experiences the shock of her life when she sees a car drive right through a strange boy. Did she really see it, or was it a figment of her imagination? She becomes swept up in Matt Barnes's life as she helps him search for his father, a famous scientist who's been missing since Matt's birth. Their quest will lead them to uncover a powerful new technology and expose the frightening secret behind Dr. Barnes's disappearance. It will throw them far from the modern city of Ottawa into the forest-matted land of the 1600's, and deposit them right in the middle of a war between the Iroquois and the Algonquin nations. In the midst of this strange New World, it will take all their courage just to survive. Will the answer they seek be found in time?

As Sarah walked, stewing over her miserable life, a flicker of movement across the street caught her eye. A boy was walking parallel to her with hunched shoulders and a twisted grimace on his face. He was kicking snow and punching shadows. He seemed oblivious to the frolicking kids, or to her. His eyes focused on the snow like it was an enemy.

Sarah looked away from him, but every now and then she'd look up and find they were keeping pace with each other. The boy seemed typical of kids from this northern town--bulky parka, Maple Leaf toque and a cold-flushed face under the snowflakes--yet he was different. He was distant from the others--an outsider, like her. She couldn't stop watching him.

Finally they reached an intersection and he turned in her direction. It looked like he was about to cross the street. Yet he didn't look up, didn't pay attention to the traffic lights, didn't even glance down the street; he just kept walking.

Sarah saw the red Explorer racing down the icy street. She screamed, "Hey, kid. Look out!" Her stomach clenched and dropped as if weighted by heavy ball bearings. The SUV jammed its brakes, skidded from side to side on the slick asphalt and went right through the kid. The boy kept walking, untouched.

Sarah stood there in shock, immobile. The boy walked past her, meeting her eyes for a split second.

"Wh-who-what are you?" she asked.

He shrugged, smiled and kept walking.

Sarah sank down in the snow bank and watched him continue up the street and into the yard of the red brick school. She shook her head. Had she really seen what she had just seen? The Explorer slammed to a stop, twisted halfway across the road, and the driver jumped out of the car. He looked back at the intersection, one hand poised in midair and the other scratching his head.

"He should be dead," he muttered. "Thank goodness, thank goodness."

Sarah blinked. Snowflakes whipped into her face and pasted to her eyelashes.

"I must have missed him, hadn't I?" he called over to her.

She nodded, but as she turned away from the driver she whispered, "You hit him dead on."
