About
Meet the Authors
Leesha Bush and Emma Bush, Ed.D. created Time Trekkers to combine the excitement of adventure and mystery with the curiosity sparked by history, science, technology, and discovery.
Through the series, young readers are invited to do more than watch history unfold. They travel into it, ask questions, examine clues, solve problems, and discover that ideas from long ago continue to influence the world around them.
Every adventure begins with a question.
Every mystery begins with a clue.
And every Time Trek begins when history calls.
