DESCRIPTION:
Mixed feelings Bhavya TBH I don't know how I feel about this book. There were thing I liked and things I didn't. There wasn't really a plot (at least to me). The genres say lgbtia+ because Jack/Jacqueline is trans but I didn't really see it as trans. I was confused a lot. The time leaps weren't dated and weren't really clearly stated. I had to read a few paragraphs before I knew that J made a time leap. I did like the characters though. And there was an Indian, who ended up being gay who was the main character's friend. This made me happy. I do wish he had a bigger role though. I wasn't motivated to really finish the book. Delightful and interesting The Unintentional Time Traveler by Everett Maroon is the story of teenage Jack Bishop, whose epilepsy ends up with him put into an experimental program to try to cure him. Unexpectedly (to say the least), this causes him to travel back in time and find himself in the body of 1920s teenage girl, Jaqueline. But as Jack repeatedly jumps between time periods, losing stretches of time along the way, things get complicated in both the past, with a prohibition-era self-proclaimed prophet ruling the town by violence, and in the present (or is it?), as his actions cause rippling repercussionsOverall, I found th. A Time Travel Story With Real Heart James Here's a Young Adult novel that took the tropes of my childhood (made me think of Quantum Leap and Back to the Future in parts) but gave it a real emotional impact and depth that I didn't expect. The action left me turning pages long after I should have been asleep, and I felt a real connection to the narrator, Jack.You don't see many stories which approach gender quite the way this story does. Body switches are often the punchline, and while Jack was at first perturbed about being in someone else's body, the fact that he'd traveled in time and inhabited a body that was not his own was a more pressing
Jack/Jacqueline is caught between two lives and epochs, and must find a way to save everyone around him as well as himself. When that doesn’t happen, Jacqueline falls unexpectedly in love, even as the town in the past becomes swallowed in a fight for its survival. Since his seizures usually give him spazzed out visions, Jack presumes this is a hallucination. Agreeing to participate in an experimental clinical trial to find new treatments for his disease, he finds himself in a completely different body—that of a girl his age, Jacqueline, who defies the expectations of her era. Feeling fearless, he steals a horse, expecting that at any moment he’ll wake back up in the clinical trial lab. And all the while, he is losing time, even if he is getting out of algebra class.. Fifteen-year-old Jack Bishop has mad skills with cars and engines, but knows he’ll never get a driver’s license because of his epilepsy
