Publisher Description
2013 Winner—Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award—Grand Prize and Young Adult Fiction Winner.
When Kate Pierce-Keller’s grandmother gives her a strange blue medallion and speaks of time travel, sixteen-year-old Kate assumes the old woman is delusional. But it all becomes horrifyingly real when a murder in the past destroys the foundation of Kate’s present-day life. Suddenly, that medallion is the only thing protecting Kate from blinking out of existence.
Kate learns that the 1893 killing is part of something much more sinister, and her genetic ability to time travel makes Kate the only one who can fix the future. Risking everything, she travels back in time to the Chicago World’s Fair to try to prevent the murder and the chain of events that follows.
Changing the timeline comes with a personal cost—if Kate succeeds, the boy she loves will have no memory of her existence. And regardless of her motives, does Kate have the right to manipulate the fate of the entire world?
Customer Reviews
Timebound
I have just finished reading this book and found it very difficult to put down. From the beginning the storyline catches readers and propels them into a whirlwind ride across time. The book is definitely written for young adult audiences, but this over- 40 reader enjoyed it, too. The character development is a continuing process, meaning we are just getting to know who they are and what they will bring to the storyline in time to come. I also love the historical references to the 1893 Chicago World Series and the evil serial killer, Herman Mudgett (AKA Dr. H.H Holmes).
Although not as deeply interwoven between cultures as Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series, it has great potential to make that leap.
Thank you Rysa Walker for writing this book! I cannot wait to read the next one.
Time well spent
Great audiobook! Excellent story that I hope continues for many more books to come!
