- LOST
IN MARYLAND HISTORY
Bob
hasn't finished his history homework, and now he's worried. So
when his Vid Gizmo malfunctions and sends him back in time more
than 300 years, is this the lucky break he needed? Or more than
he bargained for! At St. Mary's City in 1687, he's mistaken for
an indentured servant... at Ft. McHenry in 1814, they think he's
a British spy... and at the battle of Antietam in 1862, he's a
Union scout. As Bob desperately tries to find his way home through
time, he learns firsthand all sorts of fascinating things about
how Marylanders used to live. 30

having everything to himself -- the malls and playgrounds -- but
slowly he comes to realize how lonely it is. That's when he decides
it's his job to wake everybody up. 30
