Artisans of Time — M. Jude Gove

For seven high school students from California, a routine geology field trip becomes an adventure that spans time.

The Ge'mell are true artisans of time travel, but even they need help, and the open-minded students from Earth come to the rescue. With their creative thinking, bravery, and diplomatic approach, not only do the teens help the Ge'mell, but they save Earth at the same time.
