On the sixth day of YA Book Recommendations, I am sharing some time travel reads!
Maps, pirates, and time travel. As long as there’s a map, the crew from The Girl From Everywhere can be magically transported to real or mythical places. I loved all the different maps in this book, and the diversity of the characters. The book is slower in pacing, but the rich world building makes up for it.
Future Shock is the first in a planned trilogy, and it did not disappoint. It’s a time travel mystery full of twists and turns. Elizabeth Briggs did a great job of describing the future and all of its new technology. Keep this trilogy on your radar.

Hmm…I’m very wary of time travel books just because I think it is near impossible to get right. I do have a couple on my shelves I’ve been meaning to read (Tempest by Julie Cross and Passenger by Alexandra Bracken), and I’ve also heard wonderful things about The Girl from Everywhere, so if I end up liking the other books, I’ll definitely have to check that one out. Thanks for the recommendations!

Time travel books seem to be hit or miss with me, too. I have Passenger on my shelf that I’ve been meaning to get to as well.
