Review: Waking in Time - Angie Stanton
Abbi aka Abigail is about to start her first year at College. The same college that her Grandmother
and Great-Grandmother attended, growing
up she had always heard amazing stories about the college campus. The thing
though is her grandmother has currently passed away, so though it is a
rejoiceful time it is also a sad time. Abbi arrives
at college with a quilt her Grandmother made her and also a hatbox with
photos from her Grandmother's life including one of her Grandmother and a
friend that looks exactly like Abbi. That night Abbi goes out to a bonfire
party and meets Colton who is a grandson of WC Smith - an ex-professor at the
University. That night though, as Abbi
falls asleep will begin a descent into the past as Abbi ends up traveling through times and different decades
at the College. It turns out she is a
time traveler and not the only one -
while Abbi can only go backward, Will who
was from the year 1927 seems to be going forwards. As Abbi starts going further
and further back in history, she starts to wonder whether she will ever get
back to her "time" in history. During the book, she also stays in
contact in the different periods with Smitty aka Professor WC Smith. One of my favorite parts of Waking in Time was when Abbi
got to spend time with her Grandmother and her Great-Grandparents as teenagers.
I also loved how Angie tied everything together in the last chapter; this ending would have to be one of my
favorites in a book that I read in a long
time. It was one of those perfect endings, which
made you fill with happiness and excitement. If you love time-travelling
and Teen/NA crossover books and also family genealogy
and wanting a new author to discover, then check out Waking in Time by Angie
Stanton today.
