The Time Trials by Jon McConnell, Dayna McConnell
4.0
Special thanks to NetGalley and Tiny Fox Press for a ready to read ARC for my honest opinion!
This is a great starter if sci-fi isn’t your typical genre. Reminiscent of HP and the Goblet of Fire meets time travel! A group of 4 high school students are hand selected by a professor to compete against 3 other schools in time traveling trials put on by the Historical Society. Trials are inspired by childhood games, such as Marbles and Hide and Seek, but they’re anything but harmless.
Time travel is always a subject that draws me in but is hard to execute. This series has a different take on traveling back in time than I’ve seen before; whatever you do when you travel backwards doesn’t affect the present/future. Typically the crux of the plot is the consequence of said time travel, but it’s interesting that it’s more of what happens in the present that is the main struggle. Can’t wait to see what happens next based on the ending!
