Twelve-year-old Abby has a lot to worry about: Climate change. The news. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. And now moving to Florida for her mom' s new job at an aerospace company. On the Space Coast, Abby meets two boys, Adam and Bix, who tell her they' re a long way from home and need her help. Abby discovers they' re from the future, from a time when all the problems of the 21st century have been solved. Thrilled, Abby strikes a deal with them: She' ll help them--if they let her come to the future with them. But soon Abby is forced to question her attachment to a perfect future and her complicated feelings about the present.
A blend of fantasy, science fiction, and coming-of-age, Laura Schaefer' s smart middle-grade novel is A Wrinkle in Time for the modern day. From the first gripping page to the clever twist at the end, A Long Way from Home is sure to delight both avid and reluctant readers of all ages. You won' t want to miss this remarkable book. --Karen McQuestion, author of The Watchful Woods series-- "Other Print" (5/1/2022 12:00:00 AM) Funny, fact-filled, and philosophical. This is an inspiring story for any kid who has been forced to move--to a new school, a new state, or a new point on the space-time continuum. --Edward Bloor, author of Tangerine and Taken-- "Other Print" (5/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
