The spring equinox has arrived, but the city is still being battered by snow and ice. Mr. Ross, the science teacher, believes climate change must be the cause, but the four classmates, Edward, Feenix, Danton and Brigit, have reasons to suspect older, more magical forces are at work. When a sinister person calling himself Superintendent Tiltersmith, shows up at school and their beloved principal vanishes, the four friends struggle to uncover and stop his dark plans. But first they must discover where it is that he is keeping the Spring as his prisoner.

A Time Fetch is quite harmless when it’s hibernating, but wake one at your peril. Unfortunately, this is precisely what Edward does when he picks up a perfectly ordinary looking rock and brings it into science class. Soon he and his classmates, Feenix, Danton and Brigit, are drawn into a perilous mission. As the fabric of time and space begins to dissolve, the friends find themselves crossing paths with powerful beings from the back side of our world. But who is a friend and who is a foe?

“Take one part quantum physics, one part metaphysical nihilism, one part pagan mysticism, add a handful of truly fantastic fourteen-year-olds, and BAM! You have yourself an amazingly fun book.” ----Shelver’s Anonymous
