Told with Gareth's signature wit, humour and thoughtfulness, this story examines the way stories shape our past, present and future Eddie is pretty certain nowhere could be more small-town, more boring, and more inconsequential than his home town of the Wellcome Valley. Unfortunately, he is about to be proved spectacularly wrong. Eddie's problems start with the arrival of Scarlett, a new girl in town who seems rather too confident and mysterious for your average schoolgirl. She attracts trouble (and Eddie) like a magnet, and she's apparently only interested in two very strange things - protecting the town's local crackpot scientist, and telling Eddie absolutely nothing about what on earth is going on. And why is she so interested in Eddie's long-dead mother? Things quickly go from weird to worse for Eddie, as he finds himself right in the middle of a dangerous mystery - one with consequences not just for him and Scarlett, but time itself.

I really enjoyed this and didn't find it confusing at all. It had some funny parts. It felt disjointed in parts but I think that was to confuse the reader when the time jumps started. It made me question whether or not messing with nature is ever a good idea and I had the insight that perhaps I don't spend as much time as I should in the present moment. So, well done.
It's a quick, interesting read. Whether or not I will remember it- only time will tell.
