Alexandra Bracken departs from her dystopian, fantasy roots to bring readers an enthralling time travel adventure story. Passenger and Wayfarer weave an exciting scavenger hunt through time with a poignant journey of self-discovery for its main characters. Bracken’s duology is an enjoyable combination of heart, humor, romance, and historical fiction.
Passenger introduces us to Etta Spencer, a violin prodigy living in present day New York with her single mother, Rose. The story opens with Etta getting ready to perform at a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, only for her to stumble upon a long held family secret. Etta is descended from a line of travelers that have the ability to time travel by crossing into passages. Etta’s first trip through time lands her in 1776 where she meets Nicholas Carter, a sailor/pirate/traveler. Together they embark on a quest to search for the elusive astrolabe. This device is being sought after by other travelers for its power to control passages. It’s quite literally a race against time to preserve history as we know it.
The Passenger duology is the best YA time travel story I’ve read so far. It’s enjoyable, entertaining, and has a satisfying ending. If you are in the mood for a taking a trip through time with a pair of tenacious characters, then this is a must-read for you.
