Description
Long-separated identical twins Ellie and Kat are practically strangers when they accidentally launch themselves into the past with their mother’s unfinished time machine.
Not that 1970 is so bad. Their groovy young hippie grandma is there, they make a new friend who might be a future genius, and they can get Snickers for only 10 cents! But home is home.
Seeking help at a university physics department, the twins expose their time machine to the greedy gaze of Professor Wilkes Lavin. When he swipes the machine for his villainous schemes, Ellie and Kat resolve to think like scientists and do whatever it takes to survive the past and get home.
Through tricky situations, narrow escapes, and sometimes even just for fun, the sisters make the most of their identical twinness. Ellie’s acrobatics and aikido come in handy; Kat calls on her tech know-how; and a few surprising hidden talents come to light when the two are in a pinch.
If they aren't careful, they just might become time-travelers AND friends.
Advance Praise
“An endearing and engaging middle-grade adventure… To navigate the past, the twins have to learn to work together using Kat’s research and acting skills in tandem with Ellie’s parkour, aikido, and gymnastic abilities. Saller’s conceptualization of time travel is unconvoluted… The action is fun and the descriptions are engaging.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Saller launches a middle-grade science fiction series with this clever, captivating time travel adventure, which focuses on long-divided twins who learn to support and champion each other... There's an endearing optimism to the twins and their story, science fiction that avoids the dystopian and fatalistic, giving its conscientious characters the opportunity to right wrongs and mend broken connections, with time.”
—Publishers Weekly Booklife
“The Time-Jinx Twins is smart, adventurous, and emotional. A winner! More, please!”
—Liesl Shurtliff, New York Times bestselling author of the Time Castaways trilogy

Great time-travel mystery for middle-grade readers!
Ellie and Kat are identical twins. Personality wise, they are as different as chalk and cheese. The fact that they’ve lived in split homes for the past several years has not helped their bonding. Then, one afternoon, a freak accident following an argument sends these girls back to the year 1970! Can they put their differences aside long enough to help one another get back to 2020?
The first in a series about these twin girls and their adventures!
