I found it difficult to get started. I've read these young-adult-transported-into-fantasy-world books before, and this one felt like it was trying too hard to seem authentic by over-using some of the traditional tropes. But as I pushed through a couple of chapters, the story line started to draw me in.
Katie is a typical teenage girl, except that's she's also a mother of an infant child. When she, her, child, and a friend get lost, they learn they're...where? Another world? The distant past? The future? Somewhere other than where they were. Somewhere where there has been a disaster. Somewhere where her baby is called to be the savior.
There is a responsibility (isn't there?) to help these people out - but no one will explain to Katie what is going on. All she wants is to take her baby, go home, get her phone working, and be a normal teen mom again.
I would argue now that the over-use of the tropes I mentioned before is actually a success. The two extremes of Katie's teenage world and this bizarre future/past/alternate/disaster world are much starker, and this adds to the overall development of the setting and story. ( )
