Girl From Everywhere

Zusatztext The Girl from Everywhere is a stand-out in a year that loved a good time-travel story. (And side note: could I be more obsessed with the cover?) (...) Heidi Heilig's twist of including mythical and legendary places to her lush time-traveling family adventure story is a game-changer! allowing for a collision of ancient stories and real-life history in a way that separates the novel from the rest Informationen zum Autor Heidi grew up in Hawaii where she rode horses and raised peacocks, and then she moved to New York City and grew up even more, as one tends to do. Her favorite thing, outside of writing, is travel, and she has haggled for rugs in Morocco, hiked the trails of the Ko'olau Valley, and huddled in a tent in Africa while lions roared in the dark. She holds an MFA from New York University in Musical Theatre Writing, of all things, and she's written books and lyrics for shows including The Time Travelers Convention , Under Construction , and The Hole . She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, her son, and their pet snake, whose wings will likely grow in any day now.

Nix Song is a time-traveler. She and her father use maps to navigate not just the globe but time itself. Their glorious old pirate ship, manned by a rag-tag crew of time-refugees, is stuffed with treasures both typical and mythical and takes them wherever their hearts desire. But for all the adventure such a life holds, there is danger too. A danger that threatens Nix's very existence. And when fate and a very particular map take Nix back to her origins, everything she knows is thrown into jeopardy. Including, perhaps the path to the love of her life . . . Zusammenfassung Old maps allow Nix and her father to navigate not just to distant lands, but distant times - although a map will only take you somewhere once. And when Nix refuses to help, her father threatens to maroon Kashmir, her only friend (and perhaps, only love) in a time where Nix will never be able to find him....
