Wouldn't you know it, right when the trusty Time Warp Trio is about to go on stage in the school play, the script gets knocked into The Book, and Joe, Fred, and Sam come face-to-face with Cerberus, the mythological three-headed dog of Hades. And the drooling guard dog isn't the worst of their problems: The guys have landed smack in the middle of a feud between the gods of ancient Greece and some really ugly monsters.  

Sam's bright idea to look for the inventor of the Book takes the guys to 15th-century Italy to meet up with Leonardo da Vinci. But it's going to take at least three more bright ideas, two magic tricks, and one great invention to get them out of trouble and safely back home. If not, it could be a lifetime of Italian army toilet-cleaning detail for Joe, Sam, and Fred. 

Thanks to the magic of The Book, Joe, Sam, and Fred are back in the wild, wild West - and it's proving to be way too wild. They're almost stampeded by a herd of crazed cattle and nearly suffocated by foul cow fumes! Then they meet a friendly Indian chief, but why do his warriors keep staring at their scalps?

Clara and Nancy, two sisters working in Holloway Prison in 1913, find themselves face to face with imprisoned suffragettes: women fighting for the same freedoms they want for themselves. Soon Nancy is drawn to one inmate in particular - the enigmatic 'Duchess' - and decides to follow her into the fight. But Clara is torn by the very laws her sister has chosen to try to change. She's fallen in love, and yet marriage would mean giving up the job she loves and losing her independence forever. How can she possibly choose between the two sides of her heart and not lose a part of herself?

Blackbeard, the meanest, ugliest pirate ever, has our accidental time travelers cornered. Can Fred, Sam, and Joe find The Book in time - or will they become shark munchies?
