Find Me In Time: Meeting Columbus

Make Learning Fun!

The first book in the thrilling time travel adventures of The Tree House Club is a page-turning ride back in time.

Five friends are transported back in time by a magical tree house to 1492 and witness the arrival of Columbus and the three ships!

Their lives are suddenly in danger when they realize Columbus came not only to discover the New World but also to conquer it and claim it for the Queen of Spain.

Will the magical tree house save them in time?

Children's book author L.T. Caton knew early in her teaching career that she wanted to be a writer. As a young student, history was her least favorite subject because she found it boring and often questioned why the historical facts in textbooks provided one perspective.

As a teacher and writer, L.T.'s goal is to educate students in a fun way about people in history who are often not mentioned in textbooks and explore the many conflicting versions of history. She hopes to achieve this goal through the book series, Find Me in Time, a collection of chapter books covering significant historical events or periods.

L.T. thinks a great book has relatable characters, an engaging plot, and a lesson learned that can be applied to real-life long after the book is closed. She hopes her books inspire a love of reading and, in particular, motivate children of color and young girls to learn about people in history who look like them.

Hailing from New York, when she's not writing fascinating historical fiction stories for young readers, L.T. enjoys being near the ocean—fishing, walking on the beach, sailing, and cycling. She also enjoys baking, cooking, traveling, community service, and being with family and friends. Her family, including her parents, sister, and late maternal grandmother, have supported her professional journey.

Find Me in Time's debut title is Meeting Columbus, about the famed explorer's first landing in the New World.
