Synopsis
Ever since eight-year-old Hazel and her little sister, Bess, found a time machine and a trunk full of stolen items from history in their grandparents’ attic, they have been busy taking trips through time to return things. But the time machine is supposed to be a secret. And, their grandparents’ sneaky neighbor, Bobby, is at his old tricks again. The 10-year-old boy saw Hazel and Bess leaving in the time machine once, and he keeps trying to catch them again. Only this time, it's different. Will Bobby sneak his way onto the time machine? Or, will the girls figure things out and stop him? Find out in the sixth book of the series when the girls travel to 1965 to meet Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Civil Rights march in Selma, Alabama and also learn the importance of standing up when it matters in life, and how hard that can be sometimes.
