I love movies and books with a "kick butt" girl in them. This is just that. Not a long book so this book was a fast read that I did not want to put down. You sit on the edge of your seat waiting for the next piece of action to happen and you don't have to wait long as almost all the ages have some sort of adventure to it. I would say this is a good book for girls age 10-18. I love that it is not like most pirate books. Thank you Mr Akers for making this pirate book unique.

Untimed- Orangeberry Book Tour Review

Image
Untimed is an action-packed time travel novel by Andy Gavin, author of The Darkening Dream and creator of Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter. Charlie’s the kind of boy that no one notices. Hell, his own mother can’t remember his name. So when a mysterious clockwork man tries to kill him in modern day Philadelphia, and they tumble through a hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of time don’t take him seriously. Still, this isn’t all bad. Who needs school when you can learn about history first hand, like from Ben Franklin himself. And there’s this girl… Yvaine… another time traveler. All good. Except for the rules: boys only travel into the past and girls only into the future. And the baggage: Yvaine’s got a baby boy and more than her share of ex-boyfriends.

But the future they return to is nothing like Charlie remembers. To set th...
