Do you recognize this child? Over 12. Devours fantasy novels. In fact, there's not a dragon, wizard, nor brave, bespectacled teenage hero this child hasn't already met between the covers of a book. The problem is, these books seem to be cloning themselves, and your precocious child is losing interest. What's a parent to do? Get Black Powder! It's an electrifying, wild ride through time and space, and I guarantee it's like nothing you or your teen has ever read. This one-of-a-kind book is a blend of medieval fantasy, true history, contemporary teen adventure, and science fiction. Langston is a 14-year-old science genius who lives in L.A. in 2010. When his best friend is killed in a gang fight, he goes back in time in an effort to prevent the invention of guns and bring his buddy back to life. His venture takes him back to Oxford, England in 1278, when Roger Bacon is about to change the course of history by inventing the formula for gunpowder. But Langston has to work quickly, or he'll find himself stuck in the 13th century.
