What would you do if you could just hop in another universe? That is what eighth graders Marissa, Eliza, Melinda, and Salina can do, thanks to a faulty science experiment.

So when Marissa wants to go to meet Sherlock Holmes, or just have fun in another time, Salina agrees in a flash. She just has to pass her free for all history report, and she can do Victorian fashion!

"Salina, hurry up!" I yell. Her attic is the start point,as no one goes up there besides us, and we have two old steamer trunks full of odd costumes stashed in there.

I pull my slightly below shoulder length curly dark hair back with a green ribbon. I change into white loose blouse with a flared green skirt perfect for running, and a boxy, slightly long green jacket. Perfect. Warm and comfy. Notice I didn't say cozy.

"I'm ready!" Salina is done up in a dark blue silk dress, with her blonde hair in an elegant bun. Uh-oh.

"Salina, are ALL you costumes like that?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Not all, just some!" Salina replied.

"Should I believe you?"

"YES!"

"All right, all right already!" I pull out the checklist.

"Travel log?"

"Check."

"A couple of changes of clothing?"

"Check,"

"Everything else?"

"Check."

"Let's go!" I drop three drops of titanium and magnesium and concentrate on the book in my hand. The world ripples and folds, then vanishes.
