I'm linear. Time travel books confuse me. A lot. But I liked this one. I was still a little confused at times, but for the most part, the book was centered around Hawaii in the mid 1800's before the US claimed it as a state. Nix has never met her mother who died when she was a baby. Her father sails a boat with his gift of Navigating to another place and time with the guidance of genuine maps. He has been on the quest to save Nix's mother for 16 years trying to go back to the time before she died. So, Nix feels torn that her father loves her mother so much he's willing to choose her mother over her own existence. Good book, easy to read, despite the time travel stuff. And I learned a lot about some obscure history. How fun is that?
