Plot

When Joe receives a book from his uncle on his 10th birthday, he has no idea what is in store for him and his two friends Fred and Sam. Every time they open this book, known as The Book, it teleports them through time into different time periods, causing them to get into dangerous situations. Whether they like it or not, they have to find the book in the time period they're in while trying to stay alive.

The boys learn how to use The Book throughout the series, but end up warping by triggering the book accidentally. Their great-granddaughters from the 22nd century (2105) know how to use The Book at will, although they sometimes trigger it accidentally as well. The girls also have a pocket-watch that used to belong to Sam that has been modified to time travel as well.

• Joe

Joe is an up-and-coming magician and the owner of The Book. His talent for magic helps the trio in tough situations, but his tricks can also lead to some hilarious mishaps. As the leader of the group, Joe often has to settle disputes between Fred and Sam. He also has an amazing ability to talk his way out of trouble, which is why he hates to be outsmarted!

• Sam

Sam uses book smarts, calculations and research to get himself, along with Fred and Joe, out of harm's way. Even though his ideas help the group escape several scary situations, he still worries that the gift of knowledge makes him a bit of a nerd. Sam is also very wary of Time Travel, and he's convinced their doom is imminent every time they open The Book. Time travel is a concept that has long fascinated humanity—whether it is Merlin experiencing time backwards, or religious traditions like Mohammeds trip to Jerusalem and ascent to heaven, returning before a glass knocked over had spilt its contents. ...

• Fred

A 10-year old sports fan who isn't the brightest bulb on the lamp. He has a big brother who bullies Fred and messes with his video games. His stupidity often ends up getting the gang in trouble, and always wants to persuade his two other friends, Joe and Sam, to travel somewhere via The Book where they can gain riches, glory or credit for something in a time period they didn't do. Even though he leaps before he looks, Fred uses it as an advantage to fight enemies and save the trio from trouble or death.

• Joe the Magnificent - Joe's maternal uncle who is a magician, but not so great. He sent his nephew The Book (which he couldn't use either)^{[citation needed]}.
• Mad Jack - Joe the Magnificent's evil brother who is intent on getting his hands on The Book. He recently faced a showdown with his nephew and tried to get the book (he never succeeds).
• Joe's Mom - 10-year-old Joe and Anna's mom; Joe the Magnificent and Jack's sister.
• Anna - Joe's younger sister, a very annoying girl in Joe's opinion. She often time travels with the boys.
• Jodie, Samantha and Freddi - Joe, Sam and Fred's great-granddaughters who are one hundred years younger than them. They live in the year 2105 (though in the books they lived in 2095. They occasionally are seen in the same time and place as their great-grandfathers. They are the only ones in the world (in their time at least) who can control The Book at will, although they often trigger it accidentally. The girls also have a pocket-watch that used to belong to Sam that has been modified to time travel as well. Also when Fred, Sam, and Joe went to the future, the girls had found a note in The Book that told them to meet the boys under Roosevelt's Statue in the park, and they were very interested in meeting them. Although, the guys were very shocked to find out about their great-granddauters.
