On the way to school, Amorangi realises he forgot to bring an old object to school to talk about.
Quickly, he and his sister, Millie, decide to travel back in time and find something. They've travelled
back before, after all. He pulls a piece of bark from a nearby rimu and pockets it to ensure they
return then they jump back in time. Then begins an adventure that they nearly don't make it back
from as one of their ancestors dies, and Amorangi and Millie find themselves fading away. In their
travels, the children experience aspects of events in New Zealand history, such as the Taranaki
wars, the Tarawera eruption, the
Wahine disaster and quarantine onMatiu/Somes Island.

    Nice Girl with 5 Husbands by Fritz Leiber - Adventure is relative to one's previous experience. Sometimes, in fact, you can't even be sure you're having or not having one! 
    To be given paid-up leisure and find yourself unable to create is unpleasant for any artist. To be stranded in a cluster of desert cabins with a dozen lonely people in the same predicament only makes it worse. So Tom Dorset was understandably irked with himself and the Tosker-Brown Vacation Fellowships as he climbed with the sun into the valley of red stones. He accepted the chafing of his camera strap against his shoulder as the nagging of conscience. He agreed with the disparaging hisses of the grains of sand rutched by his sneakers, and he wished that the occasional breezes, which faintly echoed the same criticisms, could blow him into a friendlier, less jealous age. 
    He had no way of knowing that just as there are winds that blow through space, so there are winds that blow through time. Such winds may be strong or weak. The strong ones are rare and seldom blow for short distances, or more of us would know about them. What they pick up is almost always whirled far into the future or past. 
    This has happened to people. There was Ambrose Bierce, who walked out of America and existence, and there are thousands of others who have disappeared without a trace, though many of these may not have been caught up by time tornadoes and I do not know if a time gale blew across the deck of the Marie Celeste. 
    Sometimes a time wind is playful, snatching up an object, sporting with it for a season and then returning it unharmed to its original place. Sometimes we may be blown about by whimsical time winds without realizing it. Memory, for example, is a tiny time breeze, so weak that it can ripple only the mind. 
    A very few time winds are like the monsoon, blowing at fixed intervals, first in one direction, then the other.

    Ooh la la! Gwen ends up on a Parisian scavenger hunt—with a cute French ami—in this novel from the author of Lost in London. 
     
     
     
    Gwen Russell is thrilled to hear she will be heading to Paris with her family. Even though the main reason for the trip is to see her three older brothers play lacrosse, Gwen and her Mom have plans to tour the city when they can. 
     
     
     
    As soon as they land, Gwen is swept up in the city she has always wanted to see, and even meets a très cute boy named Henri. If that wasn't enough excitement, Gwen finds out that her all-time favorite band is playing a one-night only concert in Paris—and there are tickets available to the sold-old show for three lucky people. The catch? Fans who want a golden ticket have to work for it via a scavenger hunt around the City of Light. 
     
     
     
    Through cryptic clues blasted out every day through a special website, Gwen and her new friends find themselves in a race against time—and against other die-hard fans—as they scramble to landmarks throughout Paris. And it turns out the concert tickets might not even be the biggest prize . . .
