Editorial Reviews

Time-travelers Jack and his little sister Annie are back in Egypt to renew their Merlin mission. This time their paths cross with none other than Florence Nightingale, the British social activist and founder of modern nursing. Like previous installments of this supremely popular series, High Time for Heroes doesn't skimp on story, but smuggles in tasty factoid morsels about history, science, and a host of other subjects.
