As the boys wend their way through the fetid streets of medieval Paris with the king’s guards always on their heels, they endure death-defying battles and swordfights on horseback, chandeliers and ledges. He elicits the help of three teenage boys: Aramis, Porthos and Athos, each keen for the adventure. Suddenly in 17th-century Paris, Greg’s parents are imprisoned in the La Mort Triste and sentenced to die. Among their belongings is a magical crystal that, when nabbed by a villainous thief, whisks them into the distant past. Greg is none too pleased to be in Paris with his folks as they sell off family heirlooms. From the gripping first sentence-“Clinging to the prison wall, Greg Rich realized how much he hated time travel”-the excitement never flags in this newly imagined Musketeer adventure.
