Here and Now and Then by Mike Chen

One of the best time travel books I’ve read. The Time Machine will likely always be my favorite, but this one was a lot of fun. I almost gave it a 5 star. There were a one thing that confused me. It said you could only hold “one time” in your head, which is why when Kin was stuck in the past, he forgot his life in the present. Yet he had no trouble remembering the past while in the present. I don’t think this was ever explained—maybe the metabolizers? I really find that whole concept a little weird, but as long as it’s consistent then fine. It was needed for the story, and it’s a minor thing. The story was fun, fast paced, and great father-daughter tale. Also it was refreshingly clean.
