Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press, (2012) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - The first book in a young adult fantasy trilogy by this National Book Award winner, a story about time travel which also raises serious questions about family and faith. "The first time his father disappeared, Tucker Feye had just turned thirteen. The Reverend Feye simply climbed on the roof to fix a shingle, let out a scream, and vanished only to walk up the driveway an hour later, looking older and worn, with a strange girl named Lahlia in tow. In the months that followed, Tucker watched his father grow distant and his once loving mother slide into madness. But then both of his parents disappear. When he dares to step into a disc, hes launched on a time-twisting journey - from a small Midwestern town to a futuristic hospital run by digitally augmented healers, from the death of an ancient prophet to a forest at the end of time. Inevitably, Tuckers actions alter the past and future, changing his world forever." SIGNED on the title page and dated in the year of publication. Uncommon signed. 308 pp. ISBN: 978-0763654030.
