Caught / Margaret Peterson 343 p. 20th Century + Time travel
In the 5th book of Haddix's Missing series, Jonah and Katherine jump from their classroom to 1903, where time travellers are returning Lieserl, Albert Einstein's secret daughter, to her time. They believe time has become frozen because of this aberration. Using the Elucidator, they turn invisible. However, her mother Mileva, is very sharp and captures the Elucidator. She controls the use of it to force them to reveal more than they want. She is intent in keeping her daughter. This is rich in detail about Albert Einstein's early life featuring the time he was a patent clerk. It explains the mores of the time where illegitimacy is a very big deal.
