“A boy without a birthday?” The sparkler was nearing the end of its run, but the newcomer's expression lit and fizzled, “What a strange wonder.”
It was a testament to how much Eliot disgruntled Farway that these words didn't serve as instant ego fuel: Why, yes, I am a strange wonder. The most special of snowflakes! Born out of time, forever running to catch up to it! He resorted to mumbling instead “All it's ever done is fritz out the med-droids. The bragging rights wear off real quick.”

I met Ryan Graudin when she came to Greenville, SC, on her tour for Blood for Blood (an alt-history YA WWII novel I enjoyed) and I am reading her back catalog slowly but surely.
This is a time-travel tale that gave me a Jumper mixed with The Never-Ending Story kind of vibe. It also is one of those hip YA tales that succeed in making me feel old. But I did manage to enjoy the world building and the creativity of it. (

I really enjoyed this book. I think the characters and their dynamics were some of the highlights of this story for me. It reminded me alot of firefly and legends of tomorrow. I loved how it was a self contained story but I still want to see these characters again cause they were so much fun to read but I loved a self contained story. I would have loved to see more heist elements in the story but I thought it was a very fun read and again handled time traveling in a easy to understand way. I hope to read more by this author soon!

3.5
Would have been a 4 star read but the middle of the book dragged on forever. (

I thought that this was really good! I liked the idea of a future where time travel exists. Far has always been different because he was born outside of time. He always wanted to travel through time like his mother did but his dreams are crushed when he fails his final exam. When he is offered a chance to lead his own ship through time, he jumps at the chance. Along with his crew, they travel through time stealing relics for collectors. Everything is in question when he runs into Eliot on one of his missions. They will end up risking it all to save everything they know. This was a really exciting story with fantastic characters. I listened to the audiobook and thought that the narrator did an amazing job with the story.

I received a digital review copy of this book from the Little, Brown Books for Young Readers and borrowed a copy of the audiobook from my local library. (

Super fun romp through time and space. Far and his team each have their own specialties and quirks. They seem so fun to hang with. The heists are great examples of "what ifs?" If you could lift an object from history without it being missed what would you take? (
