that have been turned into a PBS series, "Xavier Riddle and The Secret Museum." It's about three kids, Xavier, his little sister Yadina, and their friend Brad (who was inspired by Brad Meltzer himself) who travel back in time to learn how to solve problems from historical figures such as Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Confucius, the Bronte sisters, Neil Armstrong, Bach, Julia Child, Jigonsaseh, Jackie Robinson, Helen Keller, and more. There's also a one-hour special about women who made history and inspire girls to realize their dreams.

The animation and the characters are delightful, and there's enough comedy that adults will enjoy it, too. It's one of my very favorite things on PBS.
