Charlie is Charles Kleis the 15th and she’s a girl. She’s also an
adventurer who’s gone back in time and landed in the age of Greek myths
where she and two friends must try to save her father, who’s become lost
in time. Kate Ristau’s first novel in the Clockbreakers series is a
fast-paced, super-fun story that mixes myth, science fiction, and
reality beautifully. Charlie is smart and spunky and her infectious
voice sweeps you along, through labyrinths, across deserts, in and out
of time — and the fact of her wheelchair is handled wonderfully, as a
part of her character, not an impairment to it. Recommended By Gigi L., Powells.com
