The Crosstime Traffic series seems to be written for young teenagers. The "heros" are kids, the situations are quite simplified from what Turtledove is capable of writing, and the books are short. Nevertheless, they have an interesting concept: travel between parallel "timelines" where the travelers are exporting goods (foodstuffs, etc) from the parallel or alternate timeline to the home timeline. At the same time the agents doing this exporting are supposed to not reveal their true origins...and this causes problems when the locals are inquisitive or imaginative than they are supposed to be.
