The Fabric of Time is Not to Be Trifled With!

Join us for the launch of Westfallen, the thrilling new middle grade title by ANN BRASHARES & BEN BRASHARES! In this captivating novel, we meet not just one group of kids, but two, and learn how even small changes to the past can affect the future in a big way — and how fragile history can be!

In Westfallen, growing up is difficult, especially when friends grow apart. That's what happened to Henry, Frances, and Lukas, who find themselves reunited for a gerbil funeral. But they make a mind-blowing discovery instead: a radio, buried in Henry’s backyard, that allows them to talk to another group of kids in the same town... in the same backyard... eighty years in the past. The kids in 1944 want to know about the future: Are there laser guns? Flying cars? Most of all, they want to know about the outcome of the world war their dad and brothers are fighting in. Hesitant to say too much, the present-day kids are sending their new friends on a mission to rescue a doomed candy store. What harm could that do? But one change leads to another, and when the six friends alter history in the biggest way possible, it’s up to them to change it back!
