SUMMARY:
With the passing of her grandmother, and the inheritance of an antique holiday postcard collection, fourteen-year-old Rebecca Renford discovers she is a Time Corrector. Guided by interdimensional overseers and aided by a handsome, humanized computer historian (called a Continuant), with the selection of each vintage postcard from her album, Rebecca must travel back in time to help rewrite historical wrongs.
The BookViral Review:
A full-on time travel adventure, Bruce spins his Young Adult Time Travel Fantasy yarn in truly engaging prose. His plot thrilling, imaginative and wholly convincing in its execution with plenty of unexpected twists and turns along the way.
It’s a riveting tale from start to finish and Bruce has penned a dramatic narrative that whips along at a cracking pace, as he enviably conjures a host of inspired characters. A delightful mix that ably manifests the age-old duel between good and evil, as his young Time Corrector Rebecca Renford sets about her quest.
The theme of time travel is frequently used and abused in novels and more often than not leaves the reader less enlightened than intended, but Bruce comfortably avoids trite paradoxes to deliver something refreshingly original.
Brimming with inventiveness Bruce has a natural flair that lends itself well to this popular genre, with a charmingly errant turn of phrase that adds uncommon warmth and depth to his writing. His period backdrops are well-conceived and there is an economy to his prose which keeps them light yet encourages the imagination to find full form as he weaves a delightful web of intrigue.
A rip-roaring romp through the annals of time, Timestamped (Postmarked Yesteryear) will likely win a horde of enthusiastic followers for Bruce’s YA Fantasy series and is highly recommended!
The magical allure of time travel has held a fascination for the layman and scientist alike. Indeed, no well-read individual can think of time travel without their mind creeping back to H.G Wells.
Compelling and unstoppable, Assault (book 1 of the Girl with a Knife series), is undeniably addictive. Perfectly representing the challenges of colonial America, Hogg’s book has it all.
In a powerful and haunting historical novel that straddles past and present, Witt leads his readers on an unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness.
A gratifyingly evocative page-turner with real-world resonance Witt does an uncommonly good job of holding our interest whilst exploring more of the nuts and bolts of the Holocaust than we usually get from similarly themed reads.
One thing for sure is we are entering a golden age for children’s books and in particular for the illustrations within them.
Possibly the trickiest of all writing genres, the thriller comes with high expectations, which are hard to fulfil. So what do we expect from a thriller, and why do we enjoy reading them so much?
Readers love tropes and publishers know they sell books but there is always room for something new.
In reality, very few partners leave at the onset of abuse. Families live with domestic abuse for a significant period of time, and the abused will often return to the perpetrator after attempting to leave.
