This book is a prequel to Thief in the Night. We see the development of the relationships between the protagonists and continue in the headlong thrust of the world towards its inevitable conclusion with the budding relationships.

The Time Card series follows the adventures and fortunes of three friends - Blue, Jesse, and Ellie - as they use the contents of their newly found case to travel to diverse and exotic places. Their middle school studies come alive as they interact with historical figures of their country and the world, while at the same time struggling to not change the time-line or upset the course of history. Trying to hide the case from present day bullies, the friends try to stay one step ahead of their arch enemies Ryan Johnson and Jake Barker, not to mention sinister otherworld forces who are determined to find the time card. In Episode 6 of the Time Card Series, the three friends find themselves in a Daktar jail cell after being abducted by the Daktar alien rebels. Tam and his fighters rush to rescue the kids and find themselves in the fight of their lives. Meanwhile, Blue, Jesse, and Ellie won't sit by and wait to be rescued; they take matters into their own hands. Join the kids as they explore new worlds, battle bullies, deal with family issues, and ultimately try to save the world. The Time Card is aimed at young readers as short stories that can be read in a single sitting. As English teachers, we are always on the lookout for stories that our students (middle/high school) are interested in reading. We've found that most young readers (heck, even many adults ) who are reluctant to read balk at long stories. We really wanted to offer them short, engaging fiction stories, so we created The Time Card series. Anyone will enjoy the stories while learning about history, dealing with social situations, and improving vocabulary and reading skills.

In the first book of the series, The Mysterious Case, Blue, Jesse, and Ellie find something strange while fishing. Nothing ever happens in St Andrews, a sleepy little town in North Carolina. Nothing that is, until the appearance of a small tightly sealed metal case. The three middle school friends, 13 year-olds Australian-born Blue, his neighbor Jesse, and Jesse's sister Ellie live in these backwoods. One day they stumble upon the metal case in a creek while they are fishing. What's inside it? How can they open it since it has no catches or hinges? There's something in it, as they can feel the contents rolling around inside. The three friends lose badly as they resist bullies on the bus, but somehow they turn it all around.

L’ecografia è utile nella valutazione di patologie articolari in pazienti con malattia reumatica e, oltre che nella diagnosi, è efficace nel monitoraggio con power Doppler della sinovite, con una sensibilità superiore rispetto all’esame clinico. L’ecografia ad alta risoluzione, integrata con la tecnica power Doppler, è anche in grado di individuare le anomalie entesopatiche, l’erosione ossea e il coinvolgimento del tendine. L’obiettivo dell’opera è di presentare la tecnica d’esame, i progressi ecografici nella patologia reumatica muscoloscheletrica e il ruolo diagnostico della ecografia nella patologia reumatica articolare. L’iconografia è arricchita con immagini integrate di ecografia, radiologia convenzionale, TC e RM.
