In this first volume of the TimeFlyz graphic novels, Laurel finds herself kidnapped by some kind of robotic bugs who claim she is the key to saving the world from ... a spider? After being whisked through a time portal, Laurel must decide between believing these strange cyborg insects, who claim they need her knowledge of history, or listening to the voice in her head that says they're better off without her.
Laurel Templeton is normal, and that's the problem: not only is her dad a world-renown scientist and her mother a trailblazing brain surgeon, her younger brother is a bestselling poet. So when four robotic flies show up claiming she's the key to saving humanity, she doesn't exactly believe them. And when they transport her through a time portal with little explanation, she ditches the mission at the first opportunity. But being stuck in ancient Egypt is no fun, and when she meets the flies' powerful nemesis, she realizes maybe she does have something special to contribute after all. Though is it too late?

In the second volume of the TimeFlyz graphic novel series, Laurel and her four robotic companions find themselves in early revolutionary America, searching for the next scientist their nemesis, Darchon, is attempting to kidnap. When Laurel runs into Benjamin Franklin, she's sure they've found Darchon's target. But there might be a lesser-known but just as intelligent inventor they've overlooked.
After her father's kidnapping and a better understanding of why the TimeFlyz need her knowledge of history, Laurel is ready for her next adventure. While searching for Darchon's next target after exiting a time portal, they find they've landed in 1776 during the American Revolution-and when she comes face-to-face with Benjamin Franklin, Laurel is sure they found the scientist Darchon is after. But while Laurel and her robotic friends stay with Franklin and learn about a strange underwater vehicle called a turtle, Darchon is seeking out a different target-and creating his own army of reptilian turtles to take down the flies.
