But on the way back into the late 16th century, things go terribly wrong, and the helpful device that would tell them what to do is lost.Īll is mystery and confusion as the three kids try to figure out where they are and what they are supposed to be doing, in a place and time overshadowed by the ghosts of failed Roanoke colony, and the disastrous impact those colonists had on the native people of the region. In Sabotaged, they are accompanying a girl named Andrea back into her past as Virginia Dare, the first known English child born in America. One of the kids, Jonah, and his modern adopted sister, Katherine, have been tapped to serve as guides back to the past during these return missions. That plan ended with a plane load of infants landing in the late 20th century, and now efforts are underway to return these kids, grown up a bit, to their own times. Famous children in danger of dying had been plucked from their original times, to be sold off as collectors items in the future. That being said, Sabotaged continues the efforts of time travel oversight personnel to clean up a nasty mess. So if you haven't read those yet, you might want to. It's impossible to say much about this book, the third of a series, without spoiling the first book, Found ( my review), and the second, Sent (my review). Sabotaged, by Margaret Peterson Haddix (Simon and Schuster, 2010, middle grade, 360 pages)
