Joe has waited until the last minute to write a school report on Nelson Mandela. He convinces his sister, Izzy, to time-travel with him to South Africa in the 1970s, so that he can interview Mandela, and write The Best Report Ever. Being still somewhat new to time-travel, they mess it up a bit and end up in an African wild game preserve full of bloodthirsty animals.

Will the twins survive the circle of life there, and will Joe be able to finish his report? What else will they discover in South Africa that's even more dangerous than wild animals?

"The Magic March" is an adventure story that also celebrates human differences, and the power of children to make a lasting impact in the world.
