Young people who have trouble finding their place in the world will connect with the "misfit" characters in this provocative story. The travelers must rely on their individual and collective strengths, delving deep into their characters to find answers. Children will be able to relate well to the story.
Students will create their own description of time travel or travel into other worlds. Students should be very creative.
