Running out of Time by Margaret Haddix

Description: Jessie's mother is desperate, for the children of Cliften are dying, and in 1840, there is no medicine to help them. This leads her to reveal an enourmous secret to Jessie: It is actually 1996, and they are living in a reconstructed village that serves as a tourist site. She askes Jessie to do something that will put her life in jeopardy: to escape into the outside world to get help, before the children run out of time. This revelation turns the world as Jessie knows it upside down. Her odyssey becomes a gripping page-turner that combines the fascination of a mystery, the power of historical fiction, and the wonderment of science fiction.
