Book Details

Time Travel With a Twist!

Aedan, Alistair, and Colin are three brothers who go to school, love their parents, and fight good-naturedly among themselves a little, as all kids do. But the brothers aren’t like all kids…they live in a restored medieval castle, on a vast piece of property. Their home holds many secrets, and one cold October day, the boys discover an exciting mystery. Curious and determined, the brothers follow the trail, and are suddenly thrown into a world of intrigue and danger that even most adults wouldn’t be able to handle. The boys must bond together in order to survive. Unbeknownst to the boys, their mother and father have come searching for them, following the same mystery. Will they suffer the same fate? The Calgregors shows what courage, honor, and a little curiosity can accomplish…and how three adolescent boys can become men very quickly, when their best selves are called upon in perilous circumstances. Entertaining and educational, The Calgregors is an adventure for readers of all ages!

 

Book Excerpt

Then Aedan shone the torch down in the hole. “It looks like there are some books down there. I can’t see much else though. I am going down,” Aedan said. He cautiously placed his left foot on the old ladder, which disappeared into the darkness. It began to crackle and snap under the weight of his leg. He hesitated, but then he placed his right foot on the next rung down. Then all the sudden the ladder let out a loud crack then gave out on him and he fell to the ground. He landed flat on his back. “You alright Aedan?” Alistair shouted as he tried to see where is brother was.
