Zig Zephyr and the Forever Diamond

by Jon Vanzile

"Build the Machine!
Save the family!"

But save the family from what?

At twelve years old, Zig Zephyr is the youngest billionaire in the world, but he has no idea what his dead grandfather's last, hastily scribbled words mean—at least until he discovers plans for a time machine in a hidden lab on his family's estate.

So Zig does what any kid would do—he builds the time machine and launches into history with his friends, following his grandfather's clues to battlefields and beaches, inventors' labs and the cradle of American democracy.

But the trail is long cold now, and Zig is afraid of what he might find at the end. Did his grandfather really steal the Forever Diamond? What kind of family are the Zephyrs anyway?

Find the answers—and why Times Square is overrun with thieving monkeys—in Zig Zephyr and the Forever Diamond!
