Publisher's Description of Team Time Machine Adds to the Bill of Rights (Team Time Machine)
Without the promise of a statement of rights, the U.S.
Constitution might never have been ratified. And without the aid of a
time-traveling trio of kids, the Bill of Rights might not be what it is today—at
least that's how this entertaining trip back in time tells it! Gaby, Zoe, and
Will are in the thick of the action as Founding Father James Madison helps craft
the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. Budding historians will love
learning about these rights through the adventures of relatable young
characters, fact boxes, historical images, and more beneficial text
features.
