Jonah and Katherine embark on a chilling journey to discover the Northwest Passage in this new installment of the New York Times bestselling series that brings history to life.
Teenager John Hudson vanished from history in 1611: While searching for the Northwest Passage, mutineers cast him and his explorer father adrift in the icy waters of James Bay. When Jonah and Katherine meet John in the past, moments before the mutiny is to occur, they think it will be easy to rescue him from history.
But the unexpected appearance of a man who claims to know a secret route to the Northwest Passage complicates matters. He seems serious about leading the ship further west, but Jonah and Katherine grow more and more suspicious—and more and more frustrated that they can't quite remember the actual history or Canadian geography. And when their former enemies, Gary and Hodge, show up, apparently having escaped from time prison, Jonah and Katherine understand that a lot more is at stake than just one boy's life. ...

      Gr 5-9-Following a disastrous betrayal in Roanoke, Virginia, in Margaret Peterson Haddix's Sabotaged (2010), Jonah and Katherine are sent to the year 1611. Second's manipulations of earlier events has warped the time line and JB tells the time-traveling siblings that if they can't put things back on the proper time track, then all of history will be lost. Dropped onto explorer Henry Hudson's ship, the pair must figure out how Henry's son, John (Jonah in disguise), helps his father discover the Hudson River instead of the fabled Northwest Passage. Things become exceedingly difficult as they lose all contact with JB, and the tracers-shadows that show them what happened in real time-have vanished, leaving them floundering. Each choice Jonah and Katherine make could save or destroy all of history as they knew it. Chris Sorensen perfectly voices Jonah's confusion, Katherine's burgeoning panic, and JB's frustration as time spirals out of control. An author's note provides more information about the real Henry Hudson and what details were changed to match Haddix's overarching storyline. Recommended for collections already circulating the first three audiobooks in the series.-Jessica Miller, New Britain Public Library, CT
