About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-6-- Tad Byram and his twin sister, Martha, find a ring that grants them three wishes per month. After a few mishaps, including one that unexpectedly places Martha into a comalike sleep, Tad uses the ring to travel into the past in an attempt to influence history and prevent the forced sale of their ancestral home, Bluebird Hall. The town banker, Horatio Snivell, is scheming to take the house by piling on extra taxes. During his travels, Tad stumbles upon some secrets about his own family, discovers hidden treasure, and helps foil the Snivells' acts of treason during the American Revolution. Assisting Tad is Tamburlaine Firshadow, who has been living in a parallel world since 1771. Readers who are willing to suspend disbelief will quickly become caught up in Tad's multigenerational battle with the appropriately named Snivells. Similar in theme to Peni R. Griffin's A Dig in Time (McElderry, 1991), this book is the first of a planned trilogy and successfully combines history, mystery, and fantasy. --Jeanette Larson, Texas State Library, Austin
