Bookroo's summary

Fort Fitzgerald faces a new challenge as students from Carmarthen Academy return from a time-traveling mishap with dire warnings of an impending war. Their plan to save the world might lead to a darker future, one Fort and his friends are fated to cause. As he grapples with monster attacks and his missing father, Fort must decide if he can change the future or if he's doomed to repeat past mistakes. Will Fort find a way to alter the course of destiny, or is the future already written in time?

From the publisher

Fort’s continued adventures take more surprising twists and turns in this third novel in a thrilling series from the author of the New York Times bestselling Story Thieves! Dealing with monster attacks and his missing father has been hard enough for Fort Fitzgerald in his first month at the Oppenheimer School. But there’s another school for magic, this one in the United Kingdom, that’s about to create even bigger problems. Six of the Carmarthen Academy students found themselves lost in time when they first started learning magic. Now they’ve returned, with news of a coming war that the students claim only they can stop. But their new plan for the world might lead to an even worse future, one that Fort and his friends are destined to help bring about, no matter how much they might want to fight it. Can Fort change the future that the Time students have already seen play out? Or is he destined to pay for his past mistakes for all of time?
