    About this ebook

    Meet Miss Jones, the time traveling second grade teacher. Whenever she finds something “not quite right” in history, she goes back and fixes it!

    In this adventure Miss Jones discovers that Pony Express rider Wild Bill Hickock is in danger. He is trying to carry the news of President Lincoln’s election across the plains. But Bill is sick. If he gets on his pony and tries to ride on his dangerous route, he will die!

    Can Miss Jones get to the Pony Express station in time to take over Bill’s ride? And what will happen to her along the way? Can she deliver the news in time?

    Join Miss Jones on these fun adventures and find out a little bit about history along the way.

    Ages 7 to 10.
