Told through eyes of ten year old Timothy Elliott, The Expeditioner’s Club is the story of an ordinary boy at the beginning of an extraordinary life. Living in Brooklyn with his mother, he is a kid who takes for granted the fact that his doorbell is the actual roar of a lion and that the animals of the Great Plains come alive at night inside his home.  To him, it is all so ordinary-- and boring. He is terrified first, and delighted later, when he learns that as the child of two expeditioners, he has been born with the ability to time travel, and what the plan for his life really is. Through his thrilling adventures, Timothy will discover the world as only an expeditioner can.
