From the bestselling author of 100 Cupboards comes the second book in a one-of-a-kind middle grade time travel series that is perfect for fans of Soman Chainani's School for Good and Evil books.

Sam Miracle never thought that his future could lie in the past. But after leaping through centuries at the side of a mystical time walker, Sam and his best friend, Glory, know that the next morning's sun could belong to yesterday as easily as tomorrow.
But no day is safe. Since the Vulture escaped, Sam and Glory's greatest nemesis has left no time nor place unmarked by his path of destruction. At least Sam and Glory have Peter, the youngest version of their mentor, Father Tiempo, to help repair the sands of time... until they don't.
Determined to save their friend from the Vulture's clutches, Sam and Glory put their trust in Ghost, a creature from before time itself. But now, the sidekick must fill the legend's shoes, the hero must play backup, and the powers they have yet to discover might just hold the key to protecting every last second for eons to come.

      Sam and Glory are back, pinballing among time periods to defeat evil.Sam's arms are literally snakes whose aim and trigger-pulling skills make him a sharpshooter, and although he's not a titular character as in predecessor The Legend of Sam Miracle (2016), white Sam's front and center. Possibly mixed-race Glory's happy with her role "guiding the hero, motivating the hero, saving the hero," and slicing through time streams with time-wielding skills that she's learning on the fly. The workings of time are sometimes hard to understand (a hand holds "a smooth rod of watery time"), and characters' physical movements in action scenes are sometimes hard to follow. Still, the pages of action turn pretty quickly--volcanoes destroy cities, leviathan rises from the sea, a motorcycle rides on water, comic books of the characters' lives change as they live the story--though ornate descriptions sometimes hinder pace. The primary villain is El Buitre, "a bloodthirsty, time-walking, arch-outlaw"; for El Buitre's army of darkness, Wilson appropriates elements of Dine (Navajo) religion as well as Aztec characterizations. Navajo Peter, a main character in the series, is out of commission for much of the book, compounding the problematic misuse. A Peter Pan theme mainly serves to cement some retrograde gender roles. Action-packed though sometimes murky in mechanics; not so murky is its free-and-easy use of indigenous tropes. (Fantasy. 9-12)

      El Buitre (the Vulture) has escaped, wreaking havoc across time and space. Time-walker Sam's best friend, Glory, steps more into the spotlight in this second book (The Legend of Sam Miracle), with a younger novice version of Sam's mentor, Father Tiempo, and a creature from before time to aid their fight. Despite the series' bumbled cultural appropriation, plentiful action and new discoveries will please followers.
