 The Last Musketeer series by Stuart Gibbs

*The first book in the thrilling time travel adventure trilogy from New
York Times bestselling Spy School author Stuart Gibbs—now with a brand-new
look!*

Before they were legends, they were friends. All for one and one for all!

On a family trip to Paris, Greg Rich's parents disappear. They're not just
missing from the city—they're missing from the century. So, Greg does what
any other fourteen-year-old would do: He travels through time to rescue
them.

Greg soon finds out that his family history is tied to the legendary Three
Musketeers. But when he meets them, they're his age, and they'll only live
long enough to become true heroes if he can save them.

To rescue his parents, Greg must assume the identity of a young Musketeer
in training and unite Athos, Porthos, and Aramis—but a powerful enemy is
doing everything possible to stop him.

*And don't miss Traitor's Chase and Double Cross, the next two books in
Stuart Gibbs's thrilling Last Musketeer trilogy!*
