On a sunny summer day, when Tate and Theo are out for a picnic with their grandparents, they discover a tall tree with wide, spreading branches – a tree that’s perfect for climbing. The brothers are surprised that Grandma wants to climb the tree as well. But when Grandma slips and Tate and Theo fall while trying to save her, the boys tumble into an adventure involving strange people, dangerous work, tiring days at sea, and fearsome battles.
Can Tate and Theo survive in this long-ago world? Why has a girl called Emma joined them? What will they learn about friendship, family, and responsibility? Will they ever find their way home?
