Two Ella & Seth time machine adventures in one full-color book
Two richly illustrated books in one volume. On a school field trip to the Boston Freedom Trail, Seth and Ella are catapulted into the past by a cell phone glitch. From 5,000 BCE to the present day, they explore the site of the famous Battle of Bunker Hill in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Deeply researched and beautifully illustrated, Bunker Hill Time Machine tracks the on-and-off construction of the 221-foot obelisk made of Quincy granite. PLUS Portsmouth Time Machine follows Ella and Seth through the history of the Granite State's only seaport, from an Indigenous village to the 400th anniversary of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Readers are introduced to key moments in the city's maritime, military, political, and cultural evolution with special pages devoted to black, literary, and women's history. Each includes a map and bonus features with the amazing art of Robert Squier.
