Summary:
Solve the mystery, save the future…
14-year-old Miles Hardy spends most of his time as an amateur Sherlock Holmes and running his detective agency with his good friend and loyal assistant, Kevin. However, in sleepy Frontier, Iowa, it’s been hard to snag a case bigger than finding some old lady’s missing cat—until Miles’ genius older brother, Simon the inventor, winds up dead.
Using his knack for uncovering hidden truths, Miles stumbles upon a secret lab where his late brother, Simon, created a groundbreaking time machine. Among the discoveries is a chilling video Simon recorded before his death, revealing his fear of being followed and a dire if anything happens to him, Miles must use the time machine to uncover who is after the invention and stop them. The stakes couldn’t be higher—if the device falls into the wrong hands, the future itself could be at risk.
From suspicious classmates to shadowy corporations, no one is above suspicion as Miles races against time to solve his first real case. But one wrong move could change everything—and running into his past self is strictly off-limits.
Can Miles crack the case, save his brother’s life, and protect the future? Or will time run out before he uncovers the truth? Grab your copy of Miles in Time today and find out!
My thoughts:
It’s not too often I pick up YA books, but this one sounded too good to pass up — a teenager who is an amateur detective is right up my alley! And I have read one or two of the author’s adult novels and enjoyed them, so of course I needed to see how he handled YA!
This book is such a good blend of mystery, sci-fi, time travel and heart. I knew I would get a good story, but I wasn’t expecting how attached I would get to the characters! This book has such an emotional depth to it and touches on such important topics that would make it a great choice for an older teen bookclub – bullying, the importance of family, and just being yourself! That cliffhanger perfectly sets us up for the next installment and I cannot wait to read it. This was a quick, engaging read and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
