The October Amaryllis: Everything Has a Cost
READING AGE 16+
Clive Andrews is a typical 16-year-old boy who never had anything out of the ordinary happen until May 16th, 2020, when he was struck by several feet of ball lightning and nearly killed. After being discharged from the hospital, he realizes that he now possesses an unusual ability; he can travel time. Losing his dad a year ago to cancer, he decides to bring him back by finding a cure from the future. But everything has a cost and time travel has many. Will it all be worth the struggle, or will Clive discover something even more sinister? Only time will tell, and he hasn't got much of it.
Recommended age rating: 18+ for scenes of violence, drug references, child abuse, mentions of suicide, self-harm, gambling, profanity, a use of a historically accurate ethnic slur, and disturbing situations involving mental illness. If you were okay with The Catcher in the Rye, you should be able to handle this.
This book is partially based on my life.
