Back to Paul Revere!
They're about to join the American Revolution!
Matt and Emily's grandfather has invented a way to travel back in time. Now Matt, Emily, and Matt's best friend Jonathan are about to take a trip: to the night the American Revolution began.
They arrive in Lexington, Massachusetts, in the year 1775 just in time to see Paul Revere ride by, warning the country that the Redcoats are coming.
Then they get separated.
Matt is captured by the British--and discovers that Paul Revere has been captured, too. Emily makes a wild cross-country horseback ride of her own. And Jonathan finds himself in the middle of a famous battle!
History has never been so real. But if Matt, Emily, and Jonathan can't be reunited, they may become a part of the past they're visiting--permanently!

Fun adventure of three friends who go back in time to the Revolutionary War to witness history. A little danger, a little history lesson, a lot of fun (for history buffs).

It is basically a crime that there are only 3 books of this series. I'll start with that.
I believe I found this either at a thrift store or at a free little library. I thought "a kid's book with time travel in the revolutionary war time? it's worth a dollar or so to give a try." and boy, was it! This was great! And even though I've never read book 1, I followed along just fine! I'd love to read books 1 & 3 sometime.
