Veronica T. Boone

I'm the American author of THE UNTIMELY JOURNEY OF VERONICA T. BOONE adventure trilogy, an educational time-travel and historical fiction series for Middle Grade readers and older.



LAURENTIDE, the first in the trilogy, tells the story of Molly, a 12-year-old girl living in a small town where strange things start to happen.  People disappear, other people forget that common items (like Kellogg's Corn Flakes) ever existed, and an unpleasant woman appears in town and takes over Molly's school, The Laurentide Academy.  Violent thugs with short legs and long hair attack anyone who questions the changes.  Molly leads her closest friends in an effort to save their school but only old Mrs. Van Helsing can give them the tools they need.  Even then success will depend on catching a ghost train called The Jeremy Bentham, and on the help of the mysterious Veronica T. Boone.  



THE JEREMY BENTHAM is part 2 of of the trilogy, and follows Molly and Veronica as they travel back in time through the 20th century to stop the evil Ursula Bamcroft and her Pug Nasty henchmen from messing up history.    With adventure, friendship, dramatic chases, narrow escapes, exotic travel, tornadoes, Presidents of the United States, millionaires, gangsters, bootleggers, monsters, and one helpful but ornery African dwarf mongoose, it's a race to reach the 1893 World's Fair in time to stop a history-changing crime!



THE WHITE CITY is the dramatic conclusion to the Untimely series.  Molly and Veronica are at the greatest world's fair ever, the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and must use their wits and imagination to defeat Ursula in her bid to take over history.   On one side is Ursula with hundreds of Pug-Nasties. On the other are Molly and the crew of the Jeremy Bentham, along with an ill-tempered mongoose, a mysterious magician, and a wild band of circus performers.  Grab a seat and hold on, for history is on the move!  It's full speed ahead for The White City - all aboard!!
