Oh, he is compassionate at points, but when you start dragging kids back in time after they spent a book and a half trying to get out of it just because you can, you tread the moral line a little bit.

What starts out as a basic "get back to the future" story soon morphs into a mad race to stop the fabric of time and space from unraveling, to say nothing of the many alternate universes and the fact that time travel is hazardous to one's health. Not minutes after waking up over two centuries into the past, they meet the Tar Man (no, not that one), certainly the villain of our story, and the titular Gideon Seymour, gentleman cutpurse. They concern the adventures of Kate Dyer and Peter Schock, who suddenly find themselves transported back to the 18th century after an incident involving an experimental anti-gravity machine and a dog named Molly. The Gideon Trilogy aka The Enlightenment of Peter Schock aka The Time Quake Trilogy is a young adult historical sci-fi series by British author Linda Buckley-Archer.
