Adam's father is a time-travel taxi driver for Chronos Travel, chauffeuring passengers forwards and backwards in time. For Adam, time-travelling with his father is normal-boring, even. As far as Adam is concerned, he leads a normal life. He cycles with his friend, Don, or they both hang out at the skate park with Roslyn, eating ice creams, texting, and instant messaging. In September, the three friends were going to go back to school and continue their normal lives, like normal fourteen-year-olds do. All that is about to change.
Frightened and desperate, Evelyn Walker runs into the time taxi seeking Adam's help. In his moment of indecision, she is arrested. Unable to forget her, Adam searches for Evelyn, not knowing that if he finds her again, everything he once considered normal-his life, his friends, and even his world-could be changed forever.
In this science-fiction tale, two teenagers embark on a dangerous adventure through time and uncover a shocking truth about mankind that will cause them to question everything they have ever known about themselves.

Time and Time Again
Chapter One
I'm at the park with donny wanna come?That's Ros texting me, but I can't really get to the park, 'cause I'm at Dad's work, and something weird's going on. I'm reading my book, sitting on one of those high metal stools in the driver's booth of Dad's time taxi, when I notice a commotion in the top left-hand window on the computer screen. Something is happening at the security desk—my grandma would call it a kerfluffle.
I'm at the terminal right now. I'll see you later! I text back.
Dad's the driver. He's taking an unscheduled washroom break, and Shirley, the security guard, is holding up the next load of passengers. I can see her back. She's waving her arms and moving from side to side like a soccer goalie. I wonder if the passengers are getting impatient, but it's only been a minute. Maybe I'm imagining there's a problem, because any break in the routine would be welcome. Driving a time taxi is about as exciting as school—unless you're one of those kids who find school exciting, like my friend Don does!
About five years ago, when I was nine, Dad brought me to work for the first time, and he let Don and Ros come along. I've known them both since kindergarten. Ros always lent us her neon crayons, and Don pretty much taught us both how to read. We didn't think it would be boring—the time taxi, I mean. We thought, Cool! Time travel! See the past, the future! What could be more exciting? I think we'd been listening to too many commercials.
