Grab Your Spy Gear and Suit Up!
from Sharon Ledwith
Did you ever wonder what it was like to fight the Nazis on your home soil during World War Two?
In the second installment of my YA time travel series, The Last Timekeepers and the Dark Secret, my characters must join forces with the Dutch Resistance in order to figure out their Timekeeper mission while in Amsterdam during 1942. It was sure a different world through their adolescent eyes, and trying to keep one step ahead of the Nazis proved to be quite a dangerous challenge.

When fourteen-year-old Jordan joins his second mission with the Last Timekeepers, he and his companions are thrust into Nazi-occupied Amsterdam during World War 2.
Tasked with locating a powerful, ancient book before it falls into enemy hands, Jordan and his fellow Timekeepers are plunged into a fight far more dangerous than anything they’ve faced before. With help from the Dutch Resistance and a mysterious baron, they must stay one step ahead of a regime determined to silence the truth.
As danger closes in, Jordan discovers that true courage is forged through trust, sacrifice, and the strength of those beside you. But will that be enough to change the past - and protect the future?
A fast-paced adventure rich with historical detail, THE LAST TIMEKEEPERS AND THE DARK SECRET is the second book in Sharon Ledwith's series of novels for middle grade and adult readers alike.
EXCERPT
“I wonder what else isdown here.” Drake beamed his cell phone across the basement, hitting jars ofjams, pickles, and relishes. His stomach growled.
Jordan pulled the cheesefrom his pocket and handed it to Drake. “Trade you for your phone.”
“Best. Trade. Ever.”Drake passed his phone to Jordan.
Jordan walked over andgrabbed a jar of pickles off the dusty shelf. At least they wouldn’t arrive atthe baron’s place hungry. He hoped his uncle had managed to stop Amanda’sbleeding. His hand tightened over the jar, the ridges of the lid cutting into hispalm. A scrape from behind the shelves made Jordan jump.
“Hello?” he asked,pushing jars aside. He flashed the cell phone into the small, dark area.
“Who ya talking to,Jordan?” Drake asked with his mouth full of cheese.
“Shhh, Drake.” Jordanlistened. Hearing nothing, he shrugged and turned back around.
“I thought I heard—”Jordan stopped and pointed the phone at Ravi. His jaw dropped. “A-Are youserious, Sharma?”
Drake spat out hischeese, snorting with laughter.
“Is there a problem?”Ravi asked, tying the bowtie of his tuxedo.
“You look like a penguinwith attitude!” Drake slapped his knee.
“Say what you want, butI’m glad we didn’t hit the cleaners on the way to school now,” Ravi replied,pulling down his sleeves, “or else I wouldn’t have these dry clothes.”
Jordan chuckled.Suddenly, he heard a door creak open, followed by heavy footsteps squeakingdown the stairs. Panicking, Jordan stuffed Drake’s phone in his track suitjacket’s pocket and waved Drake over by the shelves. Drake slipped behindJordan just in time, before the small light bulb above the bottom of the stairsclicked on. Jordan swallowed hard. There, staring directly at Ravi was a portlyman in a blood-stained apron. Tufts of blond hair sprouted from the sides ofhis balding head. His brown trousers were pulled up past his waist, making himresemble an evil garden gnome. In one of his hands, he held a huge butcherknife, its blade flecked with blood.
Wielding the knife, theman pointed at Ravi. “Who are you?”
Ravi licked his thicklips nervously. “The name’s Bond. James Bond.”
