The Timekeepers are a secret organisation of kids who keep the course of history on track - and history needs them! A villain called DeLay is set on causing chaos. When the hands on their special watches start to spin backwards, the Timekeepers know that DeLay has been up to no good, and it's up to them to put things right.

This children's chapter book series offers:

- An introduction to history in a way that blends a fun story with real facts, and also includes a non-fiction section with additional information such as, timelines, quizzes, and a glossary.

In this adventure, The Timekeepers are whirled back in time to 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. An exhausted Orville and Wilbur Wright are desperately trying to fix their aeroplane. Their initial tests had been so promising, but all of a sudden the Wright Flyer's propeller has gone missing! The Timekeepers realise it's been stolen by villainous DeLay, and only they can help save the day and put history back on track.
