The Time Tider

About this book

Mara and her dad, Gabriel, live in a battered old van and are constantly on the move, so Mara has never attended school and has no friends. Gabriel has always been secretive about his work, so Mara is shocked when she learns that he is a Time Tider, responsible for collecting Lost Time, which is released as a Warp when someone’s life is cut short. If these Warps are not harvested, they will distort the fabric of Time, leading to catastrophic consequences for humanity.

Before she can ask him more about it, Gabriel is kidnapped, leaving Mara all alone. Despite Gabriel’s warnings to stay under the radar and trust no one, Mara must turn to others for help if she is to find her dad, protect Time and save humanity. Courageous and resourceful, Mara’s determination to uncover the truth leads her on a dangerous journey of self-discovery.

Full of twists and turns, this gripping page turner, set in the Republic of Ireland, is an exhilarating and imaginative read. Each chapter opens with an extract from The Time Tider’s Handbook, which will help readers to understand the complex concepts which underpin this thrilling story.
