History gets more interesting depending on who writes it. Author Kesha Rushing articulates picturesque accounts of historical figures in their journey through the Underground Railroad in her first children's novel, Terrell and Keke's Adventures Through Time: Traveling the Underground Railroad. Leaving no road untravelled, Rushing grasps the youthful eyes of her readers in all formats. From traditional to digital pages, children can experience the trials of those before them through time-traveling characters, Terrell and Keke.

Read the book description of her first children's novel below.

Terrell and Keke’s Adventures Through Time
“Traveling the Underground Railroad”

Eleven-year-old Terrell and his 8 year-old sister, Keke, are time-travelers. Only they don’t know it yet. All they know is it’s the end of school year, their parents are having financial troubles and they must leave their friends in Chicago to spend the summer with their grandparents in small-town Tennessee.  An entire summer with a sassy, annoying little sister following his every step?! This may be Terrell’s most boring summer ever. Or, will it? The woods behind his grandparents’ house are deep, dark and forbidden - the perfect place for an adventure.  The pair discover a hidden cabin and a trunk full of books that will lead them on a whirlwind adventure through time. Their first stop? The Underground Railroad led by the famous abolitionist, Harriet Tubman.  On their journey they will travel as runaways and experience the danger, fear and courage that many slaves experienced on their journey to freedom. 

Terrell & Keke’s Adventures Through Time
is a spell-binding series that transports readers to world events from the past and future. Travel with this brother and sister as they learn more about history, and themselves, on their journeys around the globe.
