Along the way, they meet Sacagawea, a seventeen-year-old Shoshone girl, and learn the ropes of wilderness travel. The girls must retrieve The Book from a wild bear, but in order to do so, they have to travel along with Lewis and Clark and face the dangers that come with discovering America.

This was okay. I really love the story of Lewis and Clark, but this wasn't how I imagined these historical figures being. The original series was better.
I had no idea that the Time Warp Trio books had gone so downhill. This is a novelization--is it a TV cartoon now? Perhaps that explains why it fell so far short of the earlier books in the series.
