The Rhythm of Time

Yoto Says: This high-velocity tale about time travel to Philadelphia in the late nineties is sure to keep listeners on the edge of their seat! Seventh grader Rahim Reynolds loves testing out the gadgets invented by his brilliant friend Kasia Collins. Even though his parents won’t let him have a cell phone, she builds him one for his birthday. Rahim is excited to use the phone to search for videos of his favorite old-school rap group. What he doesn’t know is the phone has a special battery that interfaces with a secret government satellite, which spells trouble when the phone transports him back to 1997. Almost immediately, he learns what every time traveler before him has: Actions in the past jeopardize the future. With Kasia as his only lifeline to the present, Rahim works with her to get home unscathed, all the while dodging bullies (on his end) and suspicious government agents (on hers).
