Series and Publisher: The Time-Tripping Faradays   

Annotation: When twenty-fifth century time-travelers Dawkins and Hypatia find a plastic artifact among the Neanderthals, it is an anomaly, but on their next assignment to Japan in 1595 they find much more significant evidence of tampering, using virtual reality to induce belief in a demon tengu, and causing mass hysteria.

In their third and fourth adventures, Dawk and Hype continue to travel back in time from the twenty-fifth century to help their parents with scientific research. Terror delves into the world of sixteenth-century Japan, while Outlaw explores the origins of the Robin Hood legend in 1258 England. Despite flat characters, historical facts, such as the medieval Japanese people's belief in tengu (demons), are enlightening.

On a trip to Japan in 1595, Dawk Faraday finds himself befriended by an unpredictable, possibly crazy mountain monk who swears he is being hunted by a demon called a tengu. His sister Hype, meanwhile, bonds with a female samurai who offers her training. These two worlds collide when encounters with demons begin to plague the entire castle town, drawing the Faradays into a multi-century mystery.
