- W4239625347 abstract "Reviewed by: CounterClockwise April Spisak Cockcroft, Jason CounterClockwise. Tegen/HarperCollins, 2009 [208 p] Library ed. ISBN 978-0-06-125555-7$16.89 Trade ed. ISBN 978-0-06-125554-0$15.99 Reviewed from galleys Ad Gr. 6-8 Nathan is still mourning the loss of his mother in a terrible bus accident when his father, Henry, vanishes through a rift in time. Although Henry had been pretty absent anyway, caught in his own depression, he was still all Nathan had, and Nathan is determined to bring him back. Aided by a mysterious British beefeater, Bartleby, who turns out to be his deceased grandfather, Nathan travels back in time repeatedly, hoping to find the perfect set of circumstances wherein he can stop his father from trying to interfere with fate to save his wife, and coax him back to the present. Nathan's palpable desperation to find and bring back a man who has a shaky track record as a father will inspire deep reader sympathy, and Nathan himself is emotionally accessible and stripped bare. Unfortunately, nearly everything that surrounds him is overly complex, ultimately distracting from the early weight of his struggles to keep some semblance of family. A dizzying series of similar days or events are crowded into this trim novel by English author Cockcroft, and readers will likely lose track of what configuration is actually best for Nathan long before he actually finds what he seeks. However, this intentional confusion may be exactly the point, aligning readers with Nathan's own overwhelmed state and guaranteeing relief when the beleaguered boy finally finds what he needs.
