This is a story about 3 siblings who have been taken from their parents only to discover, years later, that they were meant to a higher purpose, that they in fact have a destiny to fulfill. So as the work with dwarves, giant men and a wizard to defeat an evil Countess and her legions for the Emerald Atlas. This atlas is no ordinary book. It enables them to travel through time to correct histories mistakes and right the wrongs of the past...hopefully they will be able to rescue their parents and reunite their own family.
Kate, the oldest: "Actually, I think I always could. I just wan't ready. Dr. Pym knew that. He told em the book wouldn't listen to me till my heart was healed...For me, it was wondering is our parents really loves us. How could they, when they'd abandoned us? But when you helped me go back in time, my mother knew who I was. She recognized my as her daughter. I'll never question her love again. It's like knowing where north is. Whatever happens, I'll have that to guide me." (403)
Michael, the middle child: "I know more about dwarves than almost anyone. All my life I've read anything I could find. They were the bravest soldiers, the most loyal friends. People were always underestimating them, but they always won because they were the smartest and worked the hardest." (232)
Emma, the youngest: "year after year, orphanage after orphanage, Emma had never given up. She's always fought. Because she knew, wherever they went, her brother and sister would be there. They were her family, the one sure thing in her life." (110)
