Shelley (rivertam) | 153 comments I read these books in the late 80's early 90's. It's a trilogy set in London. I remember at least three MC's teenagers one girl and two boys one a poc. They time travel by a rope swing. I think in the last novel they all swing together and end up in the future.

Shelley, which time periods did they travel to? Did they remain in London?

About how old were the kids? Possibly sister and brothers?

They were three teens not brothers and sister. I think they just happened to meet up at this swing. As far as I can remember they don't stay in London I have a vague memory that one ends up in the Crimean war. I want to say they actually pop (quantum leap style) into the lives of their ancestors but I could be wrong.
