When 17-year-old Alex Zarate accidentally activates a mysterious device, he, his reckless brother Ricky, and clever sister Vanessa are flung through time rifts to Ancient Egypt, feudal Japan, and Victorian London. Each rift threatens to unravel history, erasing their present. Teaming up with a quick-witted Egyptian scribe, a fierce samurai-in-training, and a cunning London thief, the siblings must collect rare materials to stabilize the device and outwit the shadowy Chronomancer, who seeks to rewrite time itself. With history collapsing and their way home at risk, they'll need courage, teamwork, and a bit of sibling chaos to save the timeline.
Time Rift Runners is a fast-paced YA sci-fi adventure brimming with historical intrigue, witty banter, and heart-pounding action. Perfect for teens who love Percy Jackson's humor and Doctor Who's time-twisting thrills, this 25,000-word novella follows three siblings as they navigate chariot chases, samurai battles, and dinosaur-filled London streets. Alex learns to lead, Ricky finds restraint, and Vanessa shines as the group's anchor, proving that family-even when bickering-can conquer any era. Get ready for a wild ride through history where every second counts!
