The Water Tower

The Water Tower is the first book in the Time Twins series, introducing the two main characters, Chase and Stacey Stevens, as well as their family, friends and peers. It also introduces the town of Einstein's Plateau, as well as Rosen High School, the two locations central to the series.

Plot 

The Water Tower Project is a council initiative to finally reclaim the poisoned water surrounding the town of Einstein’s Plateau, reducing its dependence on tank water and creating a mains water source, but something doesn’t seem quite right to Stacey Stevens. Only moments after deciding to research the project for her social studies assignment, she discovers several inconsistencies between what she learns and what they’ve been told. She and Chase decide to dig deeper into the mystery and find out what’s really going on. Is the Water Tower really meant to save the city, or to condemn it?
