Book ID/图书代码： 03540012B58421
English Summary/英文概要： Lexi and Al Hunter are twins with almost nothing in common – except their parents and their birthday! At school Lexi hangs with her friends in the cool crowd, while Al hides in the library reading about history, battles and faraway places.
When the twins stumble upon an old dictionary their world as they know it changes. They are blasted into history to hunt down the words that threaten to vanish from our past and our present. Their lives and the future of the world are at stake. Can they find a way back home? Or will they be trapped in the past forever? Now more than ever, they need to depend on each other if they want to survive.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Lexi 和Al Hunter是双胞胎,几乎没有什么共同之处——除了他们的父母和他们的生日!在学校里Lexi和她的朋友们一起呆在清凉的人群中,而Al Hunter躲在图书馆阅读有关历史、战争和遥远地方的书籍。
当这对双胞胎偶然发现一本旧字典,他们知道他们的世界改变了。他们被送入历史，去追寻那些从我们的过去和现在面临着消失威胁的文字。他们的生活和世界的未来岌岌可危。他们能找到回家的路吗?或者他们会永远地被困在过去吗?如果他们想要活下去，那他们现在比以前任何时候都更需要相互依赖。(LNL)
