Minerva101 got me reading Sci-Fi so I'll give this junior Sci-Fi a look. Thanks DK1010 and Minerva101.

An interesting story with unusual twists. I didn't care for the ending as it left me with too many unanswered questions.
I have noticed a few tiny ants in my basement lately though... I think I'll have a closer look in the dark corners...

Journal Entry 9 by wingherchellewing at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Sunday, August 12, 2012
Today I went to the Calgary Bookcrossing meetup with the intention of leaving my books there and come home with an empty bookbag. Yeah Right! That is ok because I got some of my old books back that I really do have to read; some books for my herchellettes to read while camping and some books that really look too good to pass up. Thanks everyone

My daughter devoured this while camping, thank you for keeping the "Are we there yets" at bay.

Picked up at today's Calgary bookcrossing meetup. Looking forward to the read!

Journal Entry 16 by Crataegus at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Tuesday, September 9, 2014
Thank goodness this was a fast read. This book sucked me in so quickly I would've stayed up so late to find out what happened, but I ended up finishing it in an evening... I'm not sure what happened at the end. There were so many unanswered questions!

More a kids book than a young adult but a cute book nonetheless.

Will be brought to the next Calgary bookcrossing meetup and handed off or handed back.

Journal Entry 17 by locker-monster at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Sunday, September 14, 2014
Picked up this book at the Calgary BookCrossing September meet-up. I've read one of William Sleator's other books before and I remember it being good, so I bet this will be the same.

Journal Entry 18 by locker-monster at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Friday, October 10, 2014
Such a plain title, but such a cool story. I always enjoy it when a plot messes with time. It's not time travel, but it was fun to see Annie moving around while the rest of the world was frozen. I couldn't stand her aunt, but I guess that's the point. You're so happy when Annie decides to run off and join her uncle Marco on an adventure. Was there a sequel? Because the story just ends.

Picked this book up at the December meet-up of Calgary BookCrossers, held at Cravings Market Restaurant.

Journal Entry 27 by fracula at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Thursday, February 9, 2017
This was a cute YA sci-fi. I will be sharing it with more members of the Calgary BookCrossing community.

"Annie's Uncle Marco goes on one of his mysterious trips, leaving her in charge of two sealed boxes on one condition: she must not open either one while he is away. But she is tempted...and soon she has unleashed the unspeakable. The creatures inside the box are crab-like and grotesque. And they possess a power Annie could never have imagined: the power to transmute time."
