Plot Summary of For All Time
"Anna Sophia Lockwood (Annie) is a teenage girl at a regular school, although some of her last adventures through time would amaze you. Yes, Annie Lockwood is a century changer.

In her last adventure she went back to the 19th century, one-hundred years before her time. During these adventures Annie fell in love with Strat who in turn loves her. But Time seperates them for Strat lives in the past and Annie in the future. Annie misses Strat so she calls upon Time to help her and Time hears her. Annie is at the museum looking for clues about Strat when she meets a boy whose name is Lockwood Stratton... and looks exactly like Strat.

Annie ends up in Ancient Egypt long before Strat was born. At the same time Strat is wishing that he could find Annie when to Strat's horror, his father, Hiram Stratton Sr., has come to take him back to America. At the same time Strat is being framed for stealing an ancient artifact when Time decides it's time for Strat to travel through time. Strat has landed in Ancient Egypt where Annie is about to be buried alive. Will Strat be able to rescue his love?"
