Reach for this book when your teen is feeling out of sync with their peers or struggling to find their place in a world that feels increasingly heavy. It is a powerful tool for teens navigating their identity, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community who are looking for a bridge between the struggles of the past and the anxieties of the future. The story follows five teens across different eras, from the 1980s AIDS crisis to a plague-ridden future in 2036, as they use astral projection to connect and heal. It masterfully explores themes of loneliness, historical trauma, and the enduring power of friendship. While it deals with serious topics like homophobia and illness, its core message is one of profound interconnectedness. It is best suited for older teens (14+) who enjoy complex science fiction and are ready to engage with the social realities of both history and speculative futures.
