"It is a sci-fi book for the younger reader (ages 10-12). The book deals with time travel, suspense, and plot twists...some intense...that keep the reader guessing." - Sian K.

Look, this is just more than a book. Once you finish it, you should start reading it a second time. That way, everything will make sense now. Timeless.

This is one of those books that is intriguing and mysterious, but also really relatable. It gets a little confusing with some of the concepts of time travel, but in the end, it's surprising how much sense it makes! Altogether amazing book!…

This book has been on my shelf for a very long time; finally decided during COVID to start reading through my backlog. Took me three weeks to read this between two dozen other books that were far more compelling. I felt I HAD to keep…

This science fiction story is equally strong on character and setting. The reader is sympathetic to the narrator but recognizes her flaws as she does. Lots of fun to read and lots of food for thought.

Absolutely adored it. It has that slow, whimsical feel of one of those books that they make you read in elementary or middle school together as a class, so I understand it can be a boring book for many different audiences. But for me, I…

So many bits and pieces of wonderfulness in this book. The mother's boyfriend, the school secretary, the homeless man, etc - lots of delightful characters. Highly recommend to just about everyone.

I love reading this book over and over again! The way that the book is written makes me feel like twelve year old Miranda is really speaking in the book. The concept of time travel in this book and the plot twists made it that much more…

When the story revealed it's "Wrinkle in Time" obsession, I thought "Oh no, fan fiction." But I was pleasantly surprised and entertained. Very enjoyable.

Highly recommend this book, especially for anyone who loved A Wrinkle in Time. It's a modern, realistic time travel story. Recommended age: Probably 9+. The main character is a 12 year old girl, it discusses having "crushes," and…

A time travel book for kids...a little mystery on who is doing the time travel and what the notes the lead keeps finding truly mean. Perhaps you may want to read A Wrinkle in Time as it's mentioned numerous times throughout the book.
