I remember reading this book that my son brought home while in elementary school and he had recently asked me if I remember the book which I did but not the title.
It was about a boy and a girl. They were transported to a medieval times setting .. .they were trying to find their was home. I'm quite certain the title started with an" A" . Please if anyone can help it would sure get my mind off the topic.
I read a book that is similar...a boy time traveled in to the past...he had to help another little boy or something..it was Avi's Something in the Attic...or something like that..I know the author was Avi though
Could it be "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"?
Not A Wrinkle in Time. There is no time travel and nothing medieval. Was the book new at the time you read it or had it been around for a while?
If its the MagidC tree house series, then the "A" you are thinking of is Jack and "Annie"!
Sounds like the Magic Tree House Series - I believe the author wrote a book about them in which they went to that time period. Best of Luck!
Here are the suggestions I've received:
-The Knight at Dawn by Mary Pope Osborne
-Gideon the Cutpurse (republished as The Time Travelers)
-The Wizards and the Monster by Bill Brittain
-Do It Yourself Magic by Ruth Chew
-Warriors of Alavna, by NM Browne
-Knight's Castle by Edward Eager, or The Castle in the Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop
-Astercote" by Penelope Lively
My guess is "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeline L'Engle.
I am not sure of the exact title, but this sounds like part of the Magic Tree House series so you may look there to start and see if anything rings a bell.

Woww! I remember a book like that too. I can picture the cover - it had a gray stone wall in it. It's not any that have been mentioned so far. I'll be watching to see the name as well.
If it was on a summer reading list or part of your son's course work you could just call the school...
Was is something like A Door in the Hedge?
I was going to ask if it was a Magic Tree House book, but the medieval one is "The Knight at Dawn", which doesn't have the "A"!
Are you talking about Edward Eager's Knight's Castle? He wrote a few time-travel books about a family of kids, and their kids get to be time-traveling cousins.
