The Nickolas Flux History Chronicles series tackle historical events by masquerading as fiction. Young history buff Nickolas Flux, who can jump unpredictably through time, tends to land in some of the most volatile moments of the past. . . .Despite the fantastical setup, fact takes precedence over fiction in this visual exploration of big moments in history.-- Booklist
