The Twisty Passages of Time: Book 1: Veer Left for Home

More about the book

On Liam Fennly's eleventh birthday, his sister Mariam dies suddenly. The cause: a mysterious illness that over the course of several months also takes the lives of fifteen other teenagers in and around Liam's small hometown of Stonehelm, Oregon. Exactly one year later, Liam receives a strange message from an unlikely source. Two crows bring him a clue that his sister's death may have been a lie. Facing the start of sixth grade, Liam soon discovers his family has been keeping a great secret from him. Now everything Liam believes about his "typical" childhood-a childhood spent sharing a paper route with his best friend Richard, eating junk food, and playing video games-is about to change forever. Driven by the desire to learn the truth, Liam embarks upon a journey to discover where his family came from . . . and what really happened to his sister.
