What if finding her means losing himself?
Seventeen-year-old Bo has always had delusions that he can travel through time. When he was ten, Bo claimed to have witnessed the Titanic hit an iceberg, and at fifteen, he found himself on a Civil War battlefield, horrified by the bodies surrounding him.
So when his worried parents send him to a school for troubled youth, Bo assumes he knows the truth: that he’s actually attending Berkshire Academy, a school for kids who, like Bo, have “superpowers.”
At Berkshire, Bo falls in love with Sofía, a quiet girl with a tragic past and the superpower of invisibility. Sofía helps Bo open up in a way he never has before. In turn, Bo provides comfort to Sofía, who lost her mother and two sisters at a very young age.
But even the strength of their love isn’t enough to help Sofía escape her deep depression. After she commits suicide, Bo is convinced that she’s not actually dead. He believes that she’s stuck somewhere in time—that he somehow left her in the past, and that now it’s his job to save her.
As Bo becomes more and more determined to save Sofía, he must decide whether to face his demons head-on or succumb to a psychosis that will let him be with the girl he loves.

Kate's only ally is Kiernan, who also carries the time-traveling gene. But their growing bond threatens everything Kate is trying to rebuild with Trey, her boyfriend who can't remember the relationship she can't forget.
As evidence of Saul's twisted mind builds, Kate's missions become more complex, blurring the line between good and evil. Which of the people Saul plans to sacrifice in the past can she and Kiernan save without risking their ultimate goal—or their own lives?

With powerful and swift prose, Flight follows this troubled foster teenager—a boy who is not a "legal" Indian because he was never claimed by his father—as he learns that violence is not the answer. The journey for Flight's young hero begins as he's about to commit a massive act of violence.

He will continue traveling back to inhabit the body of an Indian child during the battle at Little Bighorn and then ride with an Indian tracker in the nineteenth century before materializing as an airline pilot jetting through the skies today. During these furious travels through time, his refrain grows: "Who's to judge?" and "I don't understand humans."
When finally, blessedly, our young warrior comes to rest again in his own life, he is mightily transformed by all he has seen. This is Sherman Alexie at his most brilliant—making us laugh while he's breaking our hearts.
An irresistible triumph of the imagination, The Little Book is a breathtaking love story that spans generations, ranging from fin de siècle Vienna through the pivotal moments of the twentieth century.
The Little Book is the extraordinary tale of Wheeler Burden, California-exiled heir of the famous Boston banking Burdens, philosopher, student of history, legend's son, rock idol, writer, lover of women, recluse, half-Jew, and Harvard baseball hero. In 1988, he is forty-seven, living in San Francisco. Suddenly he is - still his modern self - wandering in a city and time he knows mysteriously well: fin de siècle Vienna. It is 1897, precisely ninety-one years before his last memory and a half-century before his birth.
It's not long before Wheeler has acquired appropriate clothes, money, lodging, a group of young Viennese intellectuals as friends, a mentor in Sigmund Freud, a bitter rival, a powerful crush on a luminous young American woman, a passing acquaintance with local celebrity Mark Twain, and an incredible and surprising insight into the dashing young war-hero father he never knew.
But the truth at the center of Wheeler's dislocation in time remains a stubborn mystery that will take months of exploration and a lifetime of memories to unravel and that will, in the end, reveal nothing short of the eccentric Burden family's unrivaled impact on the very course of the coming century.
The Little Book is a masterpiece of unequaled storytelling that announces Selden Edwards as one of the most dazzling, original, entertaining, and inventive novelists of our time.

Terra Nostra is one of the great masterpieces of modern Latin American fiction. This ambitious novel by Carlos Fuentes covers 20 centuries of European and American culture and prominently features the construction of El Escorial by Philip II.
The title, Latin for "Our Earth," is modeled on James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, and shifts unpredictably between the sixteenth century and the twentieth. It seeks the roots of contemporary Latin American society in the struggle between the conquistadors and indigenous Americans.
Fuentes skillfully blends a wide range of literary forms, stories within stories, Mexican and Spanish myth, and famous literary characters. This novel is both a historical epic and an apocalyptic vision of modern times.
Terra Nostra is a total work of art—a voyage to the edge of what only a novelist can see and say.
The PowerBook is a dazzling piece of twenty-first century fiction that blurs the lines between past, present, and future, using them as shifting dimensions of a multiple reality.
The story is simple yet profound. An e-writer named Ali, or sometimes Alix, offers a unique service: she will write anything to order, but there's a catch.

However, every freedom has its price, and Ali soon finds that she, too, must pay.
The narrative takes readers on a journey from London to Paris, Capri, and even into Cyberspace, weaving together elements of fairy tales, contemporary myths, and popular culture. It's a tale of failed but ultimately requited love, constantly reinventing itself as it navigates through different realms and dimensions.
In Making History, Stephen Fry tackles a rather meaty chunk by exploring an at first deceptively simple premise: What if Hitler had never been born?
An unquestionable improvement, one would reason—and so an earnest history grad student and an aging German physicist idealistically undertake to bring this about by preventing Adolf's conception.
And with their success is launched a brave new world that is in some ways better than ours—but in most ways even worse. Fry's experiment in history makes for his most ambitious novel yet, and his most affecting.
Set mostly in America, it is a thriller with a funny streak, a futuristic fantasy based on one of mankind's darkest realities. It is, in every sense, a story of our times.

On Earth, six million B.C., two species of alien ruled: the graceful humanoid Tanu and their twisted brethren, the Firvulag. Then, men from the twenty-second century Earth arrived through a one-way time tunnel — and soon, the aliens were locked in a battle to the death, for the humans had upset the precarious balance of power that existed between them.
But when the tides of combat had receded, no one group held firm control, though Aiken Drum, man of no woman born, had declared himself the Nonborn King. As Aiken faces opposition from skeptical Tanu factions and the revitalized Firvulag, another menace emerges: a group of fearsome rogues from the year 2083, led by Marc Remillard, seeking to seize control of the time-portal.
The Nonborn King features the same blend of adventure, rich pageantry, humor, and fantastic elements that characterized The Many-Colored Land and The Golden Torc.
By A.D. 2110, nearly 100,000 humans had fled the civilized strictures of the Galactic Milieu for the freedom they thought existed at the end of the one-way time tunnel to Earth, six million B.C.
But all of them had fallen into the hands of the Tanu, a humanoid race who'd fled their own galaxy to avoid punishment for their barbarous ways. And now, the humans had made the Tanu stronger than the Firvulag, their degenerate brethren and ritual antagonists. Soon the Tanu would reign supreme. Or so they thought...
In this second installment of the Saga of the Pliocene Exile, a small group journeys through a time-gate into Europe's prehistoric past. Yet this supposedly unspoilt sanctuary holds two alien races locked in combat. In a world where the human-like Tanu have the upper hand, Elizabeth Orme soon encounters trouble. When they find she possesses rare mind powers, they want her for their own. She won’t be used as a pawn in a Tanu versus Firvulag war, but Aiken Drum can’t wait to get involved.
Aiken discovers the Tanu’s mind-enhancing torcs have given him his own powerful abilities. And it’s not long before he devises a plan to challenge the Tanu’s leader – for rule of the Many-Coloured Land itself. But another faction seeks the slaughter of all humans, and he stands in their path.
