Synopsis
Matt and Robbie Jefferson never expected their summer to turn into a series of secret journeys across time. After rescuing Dr. Madden—the brilliant inventor of the Time Sphere—from the past, and witnessing the Battle of Brandy Station and the bombardment of Fort McHenry, the two brothers think their biggest adventures might be behind them.
They’re wrong.
When they propose a daring new destination—Colonial South Carolina during the American Revolution—to observe the legendary Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, Dr. Madden agrees…but with one caveat: this time, he cannot go with them. The boys will be on their own.
Before they can leave, the Jeffersons’ carefully guarded secret finally bursts into the open. Their mother discovers the Time Sphere’s landing marks in the yard, and the unbelievable truth begins unraveling. With skepticism, shock, and wonder, both parents are drawn into the world their sons have been navigating. After a remarkable demonstration jump into the future, the Jeffersons become true believers—so much so that Mr. Jefferson, a history professor, agrees to accompany his sons on their next journey.
Together, the trio embarks on a meticulously researched mission into 1780 South Carolina. Posing as journalists for the Virginia Gazette, equipped with period currency and supplies, they arrive near Georgetown—a British-occupied port filled with tension, rumor, and danger. Their goal is to quietly witness the strategies and raids of Francis Marion and his militia, including the looming strike at Black Mingo Creek.
But the swamps are treacherous, the British patrols ruthless, and Marion’s movements unpredictable. As they navigate a world of Loyalists, rebels, spies, and soldiers, the Jeffersons must keep a low profile, avoid altering the past, and escape the escalating conflict with their identities—and history—intact.
In this thrilling blend of adventure, historical fiction, and family bonds, The Ghost of the Swamp brings the American Revolution to life as the Jeffersons walk the razor’s edge between observation and danger. Through the swamps of the Lowcountry and the shadowy world of guerrilla warfare, they discover that heroes aren’t just found in history books—they’re forged in the moments when courage is needed most.
