Image shows book cover of The Wandspringer by Robert C. Edgar which has artwork featuring a person wearing a big coat and a red beret in front of a tower. Near the bottom are blue cars with red wheels. Next to the book cover is a golden seal that says Middle Grade Time Travel Adventure. Below that it says: Ellie's father has disappeared. Her uncle is doing strange things in his cellar. A new teacher has taken over classes at school. Then Ellie discovers how all these things are connected.
