Patricia is a witch who can communicate with animals. Laurence is a mad scientist and inventor of the two-second time machine. As teenagers they gravitate towards one another, sharing in the horrors of growing up weird, but their lives take different paths…

When they meet again as adults, Laurence is an engineering genius trying to save the world — and live up to his reputation — in near-future San Francisco. Meanwhile, Patricia is a graduate of Eltisley Maze, the hidden academy for the magically gifted, working hard to prove herself to her fellow magicians and secretly repair the Earth's ever growing ailments.

As they attempt to save our future, Laurence and Patricia's shared past pulls them back together. And though they come from different worlds, when they collide, the witch and the scientist will discover that maybe they understand each other better than anyone.

creative and fun

3 stjärnor

set against the backdrop of climate change and ecocide, with cool characters, and a nice conflict between witchcraft and science. i really like that the book doesn't take itself too seriously, even though it is dealing with the big questions. also, there were some really fresh ideas. i really loved that it's in between a young adult and truly-adult book. i loved the friendship between the main characters but i really HATED that it turned into a love story. otherwise this might have been 4 or 5 stars for me.

Super imaginative world

Super imaginative world, very funny and interesting writing. The ending was a bit unsatisfying, but otherwise, this was amazing.
