Boone is for Middle Grade readers and up who want good clean adventure with exciting places, wild chases, good guys and bad guys, crazy characters, and planes, trains, and automobiles in which to make an escape.

Laurentide, Ohio. Molly is perfectly content. A typical twelve-year-old girl, she loves her family, friends, and especially riding horses. Then out of nowhere a strange woman in black takes over the school and everything goes crazy. People start hating each other, Molly’s favorite teachers get fired, and adults begin to disappear from the town. That’s when this stubborn girl decides to fight back…
Told by an antique shop owner that the stranger is a dangerous time traveler from the 1890s, Molly at first can’t believe such a crazy idea. But when the woman’s goons set fire to the entire town, Molly escapes on an unusual steam train…and finds herself racing into the past.
Will Molly’s dive into history be the key to stopping a trail of destruction?
Laurentide is the thrilling first book in The Untimely Journey of Veronica T. Boone middle grade adventure series. If you like courageous characters, cool historical facts, and fun insights into America’s formative figures, then you’ll love this wonderful railway rescue.
"Librarians and publishers are always searching for more tween-centric reads and this is a great one to put on the list. Smart, creative, funny, and tragic, it's a clean, family-friendly adventure that is far beyond chapter books but still a pretty basic journey of discovery and exploration, and it happily avoids the angst and "edgy" drama that characterizes so much teen lit. I enjoyed the history: any book that includes Harry Truman, barnstorming pilots, and the pioneering kindergarten teacher Kate Wiggin and is still fun to read deserves a shout-out in my world! I also appreciated the inside jokes that tweens might not yet get. (JP Morgan being shaken down for a million dollars by a 15-year-old, anyone?) Finally, the historical photos and commentary at the back of Books 2 and 3 are superb. I recommend this trilogy for any smart young reader 10 years old or older." - The Librarian's Librarian, Princeton, NJ
"A wonderful read! Adventure, travel, good vs. evil, and a little Masterpiece Theater-type ambiance and education along the way. It's kind of like Nancy Drew meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Alistair Cooke - how's that for an eclectic mix?! I read each book before giving them to my own daughter and she was begging me to hurry, and I told her no because Book 2 in particular was so much fun, I read some chapters twice! Highly recommend. - M. Lawrence, 5th grade teacher, Boise, ID
D. M. Sears is the Amazon #1 best-selling author (under the name Michael Bleriot) of the Emerald World series of aviation adventures, and he has now written an exciting adventure trilogy for younger readers. The Untimely Journey of Veronica T. Boone is an epic time-travel mystery thriller for the Middle Grade and Young Adult audience. In the same genre as A Wrinkle in Time, it whisks the reader through the decades as two girls living 100 years apart must work together to stop a crime that can change the course of history. Cited by Middle Grade teachers as historical fiction of the highest caliber -- and by readers as a fun and funny trip through the late 19th and early 20th century -- The Untimely Journey thrills with a blend of crime, mystery, and outlandish (but real!) characters. Watch for the sequel, too: The Manifest Destiny of Veronica T. Boone, coming soon!
