What it's about: Young Delyla Thomas uses her wacky aunt's time machine to travel back in time to Nazi Germany, where she meets two of her ancestors who do not know the other exists. The two young girls are brought together by Delyla, and they learn a secret too unbelievable to be true. As the two girls begin to bond, World War II begins, and one girl won't survive.

The author's favorite line: "It's not a mistake if you try, it's only a mistake if you don't try."
