They say they'll give the Fortunes 10 thousand dollars if they travel in the Chrono-Shuttle, their time machine. They go back in time to the year 1620 and see what life was like with the Pilgrims. But when the Mayflower sets sail, Danny and Dixie find that their mini-time machine, which is their key backto the present, has gone missing!

Thanks, men! Good reviews, all of you. I'm especially glad some of you are reviewing the classics, like Last of the Mohicans. Whenever guys hear the word "classic," they automatically think "old and boring." Some of them are but others, like Last of the Mohicans and Treasure Island are still alive and kicking. I'm reading some of the original Sherlock Homes stories now and, man, do they still pack a punch! Some relatively newer books, like The 21 Balloons, are now considered classics and, as you see, guys are reading them. Some people consider Harry Potter as classics now. Do you think the Percy Jackson books will be classics one day? Could be!!
