Description: Jesse hasn't even started on his class project due the next day. He has no idea why his ancestors came to Canada, and his mother can't help him. His only hope is his great-great grandfather's traveling case in the attic, which might have some letters or a diary in it. Instead, all Jesse finds is a photo and a Star of David on a chain. But when the star begins to glow, Jesse finds himself traveling back in time, and becoming the star's first owner, his own great-great grandfather.
