THEN: The formation of
the UNA, the high threat of eco-terrorism, the mammoth rates of unemployment and
subsequent escape into a world of virtual reality are things any student can
read about in their 21st century textbooks and part of the normal background
noise to Freya Kallas's life. Until that world starts to
crumble.
NOW: It's 1985. Freya
Kallas has just moved across the world and into a new life. On the outside, she
fits in at her new high school, but Freya feels nothing but removed. Her mother
blames it on the grief over her father's death, but how does that explain the
headaches and why do her memories feel so foggy? When Freya lays eyes on Garren
Lowe, she can't get him out of her head. She's sure that she knows him, despite
his insistence that they've never met. As Freya follows her instincts and pushes
towards hidden truths, the two of them unveil a strange and dangerous world
where their days may be numbered. Unsure who to trust, Freya and Garren go on
the run from powerful forces determined to tear them apart and keep them from
discovering the truth about their shared pasts (and futures), her visions, and
the time and place they really came from.
Doesn't this dystopian time travel sound creepy?! Love the concept! I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for this one in the fall... :)
I'm really looking forward to this one, too! I actually found your blog through Reclusive Bibliophile's "If You Like..." feature the other day for The Giver. I saw that you suggested The Girl Who Owned a City and I knew I had to come check out your blog! I LOVED that book as a kid. Did you know there's going to be a graphic novel? It's supposed to come out on April 1st! I'm so excited for it. Anyway, I'm a new follower and I'm looking forward to reading more from you!

Hey Andrea! That's for stopping by. :)
ReplyDeleteI had NO idea that they were coming out with a graphic version of The Girl Who Owned a City...it's one of my friends *favorite* books from her childhood, so I'll definitely have to pass this on to her, too!!
