i honestly dont remember much about it because i didnt get very far in but it seemed to be the same time period but im pretty sure one of the items was a snowglobe and the other was a painting. i dont believe it was a part of a series

The boy in it ends up essentially going back in time. Was he looking to find treasure to save his great grandmothers home?
