This short time-travel middle grade tale has major Magic Treehouse vibes. It features two cousins, one Jewish and one Muslim, and their grandmother sneakily sends them back in time to meet some of their Sephardic Jewish ancestors and make sure that Prince Abdur Rahman can reach Spain where they know that he is supposed to reign and usher in a time of religious tolerance. I liked that this was a quick story that had so much in it. It covered themes of adventure, family, faith, kindness, acceptance, and tradition.
