John A. Heldt is definitely one of my favorite authors of Time Travel! I have read so many of them and loved each one. This is the first in a new series and you will be seeing more as they come out--I PROMISE you that!
You will need tissues for this one and there are lots of twists and turns as the Carson siblings time travel to 1888 to find their time traveling parents. The historical realism that is intertwined within the fiction will have you gasping. You may find yourself holding your breath at certain parts (I did).
Hum--do they find their parents--do their parents find them? Do they all make it out alive? You will have to read this book to find out.
About the Book: (from Amazon)
Weeks after his parents disappear on a hike, engineer Adam Carson, 27, searches for answers. Then he discovers a secret web site and learns his mom and dad are time travelers stuck in the past. Armed with the information he needs to find them, Adam convinces his younger siblings to join him on a rescue mission to the 1880s.
While Greg, the adventurous middle brother, follows leads in the Wild West, Adam, journalist Natalie, and high school seniors Cody and Caitlin do the same in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Like the residents of the bustling steel community, all are unaware of a flood that will destroy the city on May 31, 1889.
In RIVER RISING, the first novel in the Carson Chronicles series, five young adults find love, danger, and adventure as they experience America in the age of bustle dresses, gunslingers, and robber barons.
