A few weeks ago, though, the font on “The River of No Return” by Bee Ridgway caught my eye. I flipped it open and saw that it was about time travel and — sold! — it came home with me. I do love a good time travel book.
“The River of No Return” was a good enough time travel book that it made me eager for the sequel, which Ridgway is apparently in the process of writing. In the meantime, I thought I’d try to find some more good time travel tomes. Here are a few that piqued my interest:
I haven’t ever read “A Wrinkle in Time,” although I did try to read it to the kids. I just couldn’t get into it. Do you have any other favorite time-traveling stories?
The Outlander series!
I read “A Wrinkle in Time” as an adult and found it way beyond my reading level! Well, not exactly, but I did have to force myself to slog through it. I know it is hugely popular as a YA novel, but I think it is probably the highly academic students who gravitated to it. I have the Stephen King novel on my Kindle but didn’t get very far on it. I guess I have to revisit that. You are the second person to recommend it.
Love time travel books, if they’re done well. And I loved Wrinkle as a kid b/c I was geeky & bad at math, just like Meg Murry. And I sort of loved that geeks could maybe save the world…
