Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.

One If By Land, Two If By… Submarine
(Saving America #1)
by Eileen Schnabel
Expected publication: December 11th 2018 by Curiosity Quills Press
When Paul Revere is kidnapped by a time traveler determined to change the outcome of the American Revolution, thirteen-year-old Kep Westguard is sent to Boston, 1775, to take his famous midnight ride. Kep’s four-person team has twenty-four hours to light the famous lanterns at Old North Church, warn Lexington and Concord that the British are coming, and rescue John Hancock and Samuel Adams from hanging as traitors to the crown.
As the clock ticks, one teammate is arrested as a runaway slave, a British watchman stops another from lighting the lanterns, and Kep nearly drowns when he attempts to cross the Charles River in a Patriot inventor’s prototype wooden, hand-crank submarine. When Hancock and Adams ask Kep to sneak a trunk of critical papers out from under the eyes of the British Army during the Battle of Lexington, Kep has to decide how much he’s willing to sacrifice for his country. If he fails, there will be no America to return to.
Ok so I have not had a great track record with Time Travel books but this sounds so interesting I can’t see myself not wanting to read it. It comes out soon also which is good. This might be a physical book grab depending on the cover. I currently like the one they have but I wonder what the final will look like.
What books are you waiting for?
Happy Reading!

This sounds awesome!
I think I’ve only liked one or two time travel books. I didn’t really know they were or my irrational fear (my brother likes to call it that) of time travel didn’t kick in. I blame Kindred. Also, I worry it is giving people ideas…
I do like historical fiction. This one reminds me of that old show where they followed around a couple of kids around the revolutionary war.
Wow, this sounds so unique! I do like time travel stories, I’ll have to keep this on my radar, thanks for sharing!
Great pick! Looks especially interesting if you are an American Revolution era buff. Hope you enjoy it!
I like time travel, and while it can be hit or miss, this one looks fun! I haven’t seen a lot of time travel stories centered on the Revolutionary era, actually.
I love time travel books and this one sounds great! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I am looking forward to this one when it comes out. It looks so good.
Oooh! I love reading about Time Travel books! Sounds interesting!
I am usually hit or miss with Time Travel but this looks too awesome not to read.
Ohhh a time travel about Paul Revere. I wonder what would have happened had the revolution went the other way. Interesting.

I usually am not good with Time Travel stories but this sounds so interesting especially with Paul Revere.
I like how it sounds so if you get it and enjoy it I might put it on my list. 🙂
I will let you know, I have it on my list of books to get when released.
This one sounds really cool and I like the cover even if it’s not final. Great choice!
If this is a rough of the cover, I can’t wait to see the final!
