The Time Travelers' Handbook (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
You are about to be run over by a horse and carriage speeding toward you. You leap out of the way onto the sidewalk and take a look around. You have landed in the middle of a London street during the reign of Queen Victoria. There are some fancy houses on either side of the road with steps going up to the main door. The houses are four to five stories high, with spiked iron fences to keep people out. As well as the steps going up to the main door, you see that there are steps going down to another door that is far less fancy. You see a man emerging out of one of these doors. He is with two boys slightly younger than you. They are very thin and have no shoes on. Their faces are completely black with dirt and you notice that their eyes are red and watery. The street is very busy and everybody seems to be in a hurry, but you are worried about the boys and decide to go and speak to them. Climbing Boys The smaller of the two boys has clearly been crying and the other is trying to calm him down.
