About This Book
Reach for this book if your teenager feels like an outsider or struggles with a sense of not belonging to their current time or place. It is a sophisticated choice for readers who are outgrowing standard fantasy and starting to ponder the intersection of scientific progress and ancient human history. The story follows Luke, a young man working on a time machine, and Harebell, a mysterious and silent girl who seems to be a ghost from the past living in the present. This novel explores deep emotional themes of loneliness, the weight of destiny, and the ethics of scientific discovery. While it features a sci-fi premise, its heart lies in the haunting atmosphere of legend and the search for identity. It is best suited for mature readers aged twelve and up who appreciate a slow-burn mystery that prioritizes atmosphere and psychological depth over fast-paced action. Parents will appreciate how it treats teenage isolation with dignity and intellectual curiosity.
