      Why has Kip McLean changed so much this summer? Shy, sixteen-year-old Maggie Gilmour can't figure it out. And why does he so often go up the wooded mountain on the outskirts of the small Pennsylvanian town they live in? Maggie decides to follow Kip one day. What Kip -- and now Maggie -- has found is a way back to the past, to 1758 when British soldiers are cutting a road through the dense, primeval forest -- the Dark Shade -- to attack French-held Fort Duquesne. The only other inhabitants are a band of Lenape Indians -- and Kip has decided to stay back in time as an adopted Lenape. Can Maggie save him from tampering with the events of history? As this gripping story unfolds, readers will follow Maggie's extraordinary adventures with bated breath.
