When their aunt is accused of stealing historical artifacts, cousins Jorge, Camila, and Siggy travel back in time to 1930s New York City to clear her name in this fast-paced historical fantasy (School Library Journal) companion to Cousins in the Time of Magic.

Cousins Jorge, Camila, and Siggy never imagined that dusty old puppets and a mysterious book would launch them into a time-traveling adventure. But when their aunt is accused of stealing historical treasures belonging to Pura Belpré, the trailblazing Latina librarian and storyteller, the trio is determined to clear her name. Their mission? Travel back in time to 1930s New York City and return Pura's puppets and the signed first edition of her book, before anyone in the present can prove they're missing.

But the past is full of danger. A powerful woman will stop at nothing to steal the book, a nosy neighbor is snooping around, and the hardship of the Great Depression is all around them. Luckily Jorge, Camila, and Siggy meet Antonia, a fierce Puerto Rican girl fighting injustice against her community.

The cousins will need courage, quick thinking, and a little help from history to protect Pura Belpré's legacy, clear their aunt's name, and make it back home. Can they pull it off before time runs out?
