The Travelers

Praise for The Travelers: “An orphan stumbles upon adventures and tragic revelations beyond his wildest imaginings…Howard’s plotting of the time travel element is solid and doesn’t get bogged down in mechanics, which helps the bittersweet moments land. Intriguingly, the book offers readers alternate conclusions—one definitive and another with a massive cliffhanger… A good balance between speculative what ifs and characters with emotional resonance.—Kirkus Reviews“In this twisty time-travel adventure, recently unearthed family secrets propel a grieving tween on a mission to change the past…Thoughtful character dynamics explore intergenerational grief and trauma as Ben attempts to rectify past wrongs, faces somber present-day realities, and comes to terms with his loss. It’s a quietly intimate story suggesting that healing can be found through sincere connection.”—Publisher’s Weekly“After taking this irrepressible cast through hope and heartbreak, the author dishes up a final twist with alternate endings: one offering cozy resolution, the other a dramatic promise of further adventures in the time stream. Let readers pick their preference.”—Booklist“The story has big themes of complex familial relationships, found family, friendship, the consequences of choices, grief, and healing. There’s also a lovely, nuanced element of romance that helps round out Ben’s character. This is a wonderful mystery book with intriguing plot twists and heartrending emotions…A terrific addition to middle school or high school libraries needing well-written science fiction mysteries with relatable characters.“—School Library Journal
