American history teacher Nathan Greene looked at his bulletin board. How did Benedict Arnold become the second president of the United States? And who the heck was Shippen Jefferson? Where were John Adams and John Quincy Adams? Shaken, Greene pulled down his map of the United States. He scanned the map no major changes.
“Mr. Greene,” Victor Bridges called out. “Tennessee is missing!’
Greene’s jaw dropped. Where Tennessee had once proudly been, there was now “Franklin.”
Had Greene and his high school students inadvertently changed history with their field trip to the Philadelphia of 1776? There had been no such repercussions the previous spring when Greene took his class to Ford’s Theater for the fateful performance of “Our American Cousin” at Ford’s Theater on the evening of April 14, 1865. That spring trip had been such a success that his students fell in love with history and begged for another trip for their junior year.
But somehow the Philadelphia field trip had caused a “butterfly effect” in the historical timeline evicting John Adams and John Quincy from the White House and erasing the prominence of the Adams family from American history. The ghost of Harvard Historian Henry Brooks Adams, great-grandson of John Adams, was pitching a fit and now Greene was facing an inquiry by a panel of dead historians led by Thucydides himself. Greene was beginning to rue the day he purchased a strange box at a rummage sale at the Cassadaga Hotel, the cosmic center of Cassadaga, Florida, “The Psychic Capital of the World,” and home to scores of psychics and mediums and a plethora of phantasms, including an overabundance of the ghosts of forgotten historians from Henry Adams to Howard Zinn.
How was Greene to know that the box he bought was a duplicate of Pandora’s? How was he to know that the box contained Nikola Tesla’s prototype for a time travel device that jealous rival Thomas Alva Edison had stolen from the Serbian-born inventor and hidden in the basement of the Cassadaga Hotel shortly after “The Wizard of Menlo Park” received an honorary degree from nearby Rollins College in February of 1930? Tesla’s assembly instructions were a snap to follow, and the initial field trip had gone so well that Greene decided to try a fall field trip to colonial Philadelphia. But something had gone wrong; what had they done? Therein lies the tale.
Tesla Time Travelers eBook Tim Black
* Ideal for collaboration between Grade 8 ELA and SS teachers* I predict this will eventually be on the Florida State Sunshine Young Readers List.
* Merges contemporary teens with founding fathers in 1776
* Well written, suspenseful, and historically accurate. More historically accurate than many history books! (debunks several inaccurate historical legends like Betsy Ross stitching the first U.S. flag and the voting of our country's independence occurring on July 4th [actually July 2nd], among others)
* Ideal opportunity for rigorous vocabulary expansion
* Beautifully successful at contemporary teens interacting with 1776 Founding Fathers, including their quirks, idiosyncrasies, and unique personality traits; making the individuals of long ago "come alive" for the students. Also realistic character development of teen relationships. Clever wit, humor and puns as well.
* Tim Black has become one of my new favorite authors!

Tesla Time Travelers eBook Tim Black Reviews
Hard to say anything positive about this book. The story revolves around history students returning to the American revolution. There are several episodes that are completely unbelievable.
turned out to be a novel
Written by one of my favorite high school teachers. Wonderful read.
This was a very fun story. My kids and I enjoyed reading the book so much we always read more than the usual nightly chapter.
Entertaining novel of the American Revolution and the debate over the Declaration of Independence. Fast-paced fun. The school in the novel is a Hogwarts for history nerds.
What if? Many authors profer this simple question, but few take the time and effort to truly answer it. What if you could truly help school aged children not just learn about the American Revolution, but feel as if they might be an integral part of it? Tim Black goes a long way toward being the history teacher I wish I'd had herein.
I finished Tesla's Time Travelers" & enjoyed it. Learned a lot of new information and corrected a great deal of misinformation. Politicians have been spinning the truth for longer than I realized! T3 is a fun, fast and entertaining read. Kids will go for the story and get the historical information without even realizing it.
The looming threat of the butterfly effect created a steady tension as the teen-age time travelers get caught up in their adventure. Readers will be absorbed with this fun read. I recommend it and hope the author intends to visit other moments in time.
