Teresa R. (strvnwritr) | 6 comments I read a book in elementary school (mid 1980's) about a pair of cousins who time travel through a mirror with their pet monkey. All the while, there is a villain after them...if I recall correctly, the villain was trying to get a necklace that the female cousin wore.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Tab (tabbrown) | 5084 comments Teresa, was this part of a series?
What time period did they time-travel to?
Anything about the cover?

Any other fantasy elements, like witches, dragons, trolls, etc?

Teresa R. (strvnwritr) | 6 comments That's not it, Heather, but thanks anyway.

Tab, this was a stand alone book. The cover showed the cousins standing on a stage in front of an ornate mirror. One of them may have been going through the mirror and the monkey was pictured, as well. I believe this may have been a Scholastic/Troll/Arrow book.

Oh and the cousins travelled to different times, all in the past, I think. They went to the 1800's, they went to 1976 during the bicentennial celebration, they witnessed Isaac newton's apple incident, etc.

There were no other fantasy elements, that I recall.

Thanks so much for your help!
