The Girl From Everywhere, The Ship Beyond Time by Heidi Heilig
The Girl from Everywhere and The Ship Beyond Time
3/5. Duology about a sixteen-year-old girl whose father can sail his ship to any map, in any time. And he wants to sail to Hawaii in 1868, when his daughter was born and his wife died, and change fate.
Fun, clever time travel. And despite how I just summarized this, it has very little truck with men angsting over dead women. I hesitated over these books for a long time because of those concerns, but then I saw that the author provides (very good) content notes for her work on her website, and took a leap of faith. Glad I did – these books have a rich, fantastical streak, a commitment to myths off the beaten path, and excellent ideas about what a clever person would do with time travel.
