Billie Albatross and Her Time Traveling Mom - Thomas Hansen - Bog

After fourteen-year-old Billie Albatross discovers her mother is a runaway time traveler from the far future, her once ordinary small-town life immediately becomes a thing of the past. Chased by chronofficers - temporal agents tasked with righting the balance of time and space - Billie and her mother escape into the future and set out on a thrilling adventure full of laughs, mysteries, action, lots of heart, and a colorful cast of human, alien and virtual characters. With the chronofficers hot on their trail, Billie and her mother Pandora arrive at a future colony on the Moon. As if it wasn't enough that she's in a new and unfamiliar world, Billie also finds herself investigating the sudden and mysterious murder of their one and only ally in the future. Fighting against her mother's desire to keep Billie away from any danger, the headstrong Billie insists they must do the right thing and find their friend's killer. What follows is a fast-paced time-hopping adventure story that is always kept grounded by the deep and loving relationship between its two unlikely protagonists, even if that relationship can't help but strain under the fact that Billie realizes she's been lied to about her mother's past - and the identity of Billie's father - for her entire life. Fans of such TV shows as Gilmore Girls and Doctor Who might especially enjoy this Young Adult novel.
