The Boy from Tomorrow
by Camille DeAngelis
The most magical read of 2018 thus far goes to The Boy From Tomorrow, hands down.
Two children living in the same house 100 years apart, communicating. That's it, that's the story. Okay, it's not, but it's the gist of it - woven into it we have some "let's do this"-attitude in children being awesome, parents trying to parent, and history. And so much more. So, so much more.
By alternating POWs between 2015 and 1915, the author has created something dynamic and fun, which really puts some magic into an otherwise very realistic story. Calling what happens in TBFT time travel is a stretch in my opinion, but I don't know what else to call it, and I found that I could suspend disbelief easy enough and just enjoy the ride.
