The Girl From Everywhere

One thing is a time travel story. Another is a time travel story with magic and a ship. And this story is something else entirely. They say reading takes you across time and space. This book does exactly that. Really. The descriptions are accurate and vivid, while the writing is enveloping and magical. From New York to Calcutta, from 2016 to the 18th century, it feels like you are truly there. Nix spent her entire life traveling everywhere and everywhen. Her father is the time-traveling ship's captain. Their crew includes Kashmir, a snarky and clever thief; Bee, a North African badass lady with a ghost wife; and Rotgut, an ex-monk who loves food. You're in great company. The Captain is desperate to find a way to go back in time and save the love of his life, Nix's mother. Nix would rather strike out on her own and see the world. She can't stop herself from helping her father, even though she fears changing the past might erase her from existence. As they near their goal, Nix is forced to make a choice: Will she keep abetting her father or will she plot her own course? Expect incredible twists and a time traveling mess that comes together so brilliantly, it's perfect.
