Booklist Review

Three young teens Erin, Mac, and Tiffany find themselves hurtling through time because of their encounter with two futuristic teenagers and the murderous adults hunting them. As they struggle to find their friend KJ, the mysteries of time and space begin to collide, with disastrous results. The second volume in Vaughan's Eisner Award-winning series is no less gripping or odd than the first, and the tension grows as the story progresses. Readers will find answers to some questions but mostly more fascinating puzzles about what is going on in both the future and the past. It is the four girls who really make this series soar. They are young but also determined, stubborn, brave, and loyal. Chiang's art avoids making them look too mature while also bringing to vivid life the dangers and wonders surrounding the girls. Language and violence are undoubtedly present, though neither are overdone. Fans of the Netflix show Stranger Things are the perfect audience for this science-fiction adventure.--Wildsmith, Snow Copyright 2017 Booklist
