Sabotaged / Margaret Peterson Haddix / 377 pages

In this third book in The Missing series, Jonah and his sister, Katherine, accompany Virginia Dare - the first English person born in the New World, back in time to correct ramifications of being kidnapped out of time.  Andrea (Virginia) has recently lost her adoptive parents and has no reason to return to the 21st century.  Instead she makes a deal with Second to enable her to return to history, meet her grandfather, and remain there.  Unfortunately, Second has not anticipated how this might change the present and the future.  There is a great afterword by the author giving facts about the Lost Colony of Roanoke.

"We never know all the consequences of any action."
"It gets harder and harder to care about abstract issues like history when you get to know the people involved."
