Greg’s already time traveled once. It worked out okay. This time, well it’s not so good, since it’s 1778 in Kentucky! The Indians are hostile, Greg’s not sure how to get back to his time, and things are only getting worse. Despite all his attempts, his situation is growing more grim each day. Jump back with Greg in this adventure filled with history, humor, and a whole lot of action!

Children's Literary Classics awarded Greg's Second Adventure in Time a Gold Medal for Historical Fiction and its Seal of Approval:  Greg, a bright, inquisitive and extremely talkative young boy, is not at all pleased when his family moves to Kentucky for his father's job.  He would prefer to be spending his summer with his best friend, Rose.   But instead, his mom has volunteered him to participate in an 18th century reenactment in which he must wear a period costume that is far from comfortable. 

Greg has traveled in time before, but he's not quite sure how.  So, when he finds himself once again back in time, surrounded by five Indians with tomahawks and war paint, he's not entirely sure what to make of the situation. Having learned a thing or two from his previous time travel experiences, he's less afraid and better equipped to maintain a sense of calm as he faces the Indians who have just killed and scalped a man bearing a satchel with letters dated from the summer of 1778.

While four are written for children under the name C.M. Huddleston, her other works are histories for adults on a variety of subjects. Currently she is researching and writing about President Theodore Roosevelt’s ancestors.

Connie resides in a log cabin near Crab Orchard, Kentucky, with her husband and their Australian Shepherd Katie. They all enjoy the quiet of rural Kentucky. Except when Katie barks at deer, turkeys, and of course, the UPS truck!
