Tinkers in Time
by Julia J. Pierrepont

“Swiss Family Robinson” meets ‘Quantum Leap” meets “Dora the Explorer”

A Rollicking Family Time Travel Adventure series! The fun and wacky Tinker family – Skeeter (girl, 8), Roo (boy, 8), Troy (15), Veronica (16), Mom & Dad, their English cousin, Fiona (14) and their crazy inventor grandad are sucked into a rogue Time-Space vortex and flung back in time to different exciting periods and places in history! Together they must find a way to put their squabbling aside and use their combined skills and brilliant ideas to battle their way through a series of adventures and discover a safe way home!

“Swiss Family Robinson” meets ‘Quantum Leap” meets “Dora the Explorer”

The Tinkers set off for a fun (or frazzled!) family summer vacation in their grandfather, Deedle-Pops’, tricked-out, custom RV. But they get a far bigger adventure than they bargained for when a freak lightning storm collides with an aurora borealis and brings a power-grid down on top of their wacky Winnebago, sending them hurtling back in time to Ye Ole England and the days of Robin Hood, King John and the Magna Carta!

Unfortunately, they find out to their dismay that Dad looks just like Robin Hood! So evil King John, the Sheriff of Nottingham and all the King’s men end up hot on the Tinkers trail – determined to lop off their heads!

Can the brilliant, resourceful Tinkers find a way to jump their RV back into the Time-Stream and make their escape in time?

Meet the fabulous, eccentric Tinker family!

Dad, Erik, (40s), an absent-minded professor with all of history at his fingertips
Mom, Julia (30’s), a gifted physician with a knack for alternative medicine too
Vicki (16), a pretentious meanie and wanna-be Hollywood starlet
Troy (15), an uber-jock and talented musician
Skeeter & Roo (girl & boy, 8), tech-head fraternal twins who are whizzes in all things computers & science, and total mischief magnets
Fiona, (14) their smart, sweet British cousin living with them while her Zoologist parents are disappeared in the African Congo
Deedle-Pops, (70’s), their eccentric Scottish, inventor grandfather who’s inventions never work quite like they’re supposed to (and who’s still feuding with the ghost of his late wife, Esme!)
