Summary:
On the first day of a family trip to Paris, Greg Rich's parents disappear. They're not just missing from the city -- they're missing from the "century." So Greg does what any kid will do: he travels through time to rescue them.
Greg soon finds out that his family history is tied to the legendary Three Musketeers. But when he meets them, they're kids his age , and they'll only live long enough to become true heroes if he can save them. To rescue his parents, Greg must assume the identity of a young Musketeer in training and unite Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan -- but a powerful enemy is doing everything possible to stop him from succeeding.
I love it when a book has a great first sentence that makes you want to keep reading. This book had it, I was also intrigued with the reinvention of The Three Musketeer's story, and although I'm not a huge time travel fan, it worked for this story. I enjoyed how Greg struggled with some of the more descriptive and challenging aspects of history - scratchy clothes, travel by foot or horse and worst of all the smells of sewage everywhere.
