When Hoot, an adorable, impulsive owlet from the future, meets Bentley, a studious, rule-following kid from the present, neither one quite fits into their own time. But with the accidental click of a sparkly button (or is it a snazzy one?), the two are off on an adventure that winds through ancient Egypt, the Wild West, and even the Renaissance… Will the history-hopping duo make it back to when they belong, or are these buddies officially out of time?

A fun, accessible tale of friendship, time travel, and adventure for readers 6-9.
