Military & Wars, 1800s 

How could something as simple as a butter knife have the power to change his life forever? Dan is a 16 year old rock climbing enthusiast stuck inside on a rainy, summer day, and he is bored. They say curiosity killed the cat, but in Dan’s case it did anything but that. When Dan finds an antique butter knife, which holds some unusual properties, his life becomes anything but boring! Glint is a delightful blend of history, adventure, science fiction, and inspirational characters. Enjoy the fast pace of Glint, and the way time moves from present to past (Civil War) and back to present. Join Dan, and his two best friends, Ritchie and Jesse, as they challenge the world around them, and work to solve a mystery from the past revealed to them through time travel. Written with humor, energy, and insight about the way teen boys' heads work, Glint will engage even the most reluctant of readers, and definitely anyone who loves a good story. - from Amzon
