The path from retail middle management to interdimensional wizard adventurer wasn’t easy, but Jason Asano is settling into his new life. Now, a contest draws young elites to the city of Greenstone, competing for a grand prize. Jason must gather a band of companions if he is to stand a chance against the best the world has to offer. While the young adventurers are caught up in competition, the city leaders deal with revelations of betrayal as a vast and terrible enemy is revealed. Although Jason seems uninvolved, he has unknowingly crossed the enemy’s path before. Friends and foes made along the way will lead him to cross it again as inevitable conflict looms.

Jason wakes up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters. It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Three strangers’ lives converge in the waiting room of Sydney’s Time Travel Agency – a nondescript shopfront that promises impossible things… It’s a crisp, wintry Thursday when Anna is hit by a car. In the wake of this chance encounter – possibly lightly concussed, possibly thinking clearly for the first time in a long time – she quits her miserable job and agrees to take on a role at the Time Travel Agency, a nondescript experiential arcade beneath a creative writing school. Across town, Teddy has been lying flat on his back staring at the ceiling for the past three weeks. Since his wife left him for his brother he just can’t seem to get up. It’s another in a long line of instances of his selfish older brother taking everything he loves. When he spies an advert promising journeys into your past, he figures it might be time to reckon with their difficult relationship once and for all. For some reason, Jade is journalling. A friend gifted her a ‘creative mentorship’ and now once a week she’s expected to open her mind and fill pages in a small room above the Time Travel Agency. She’s not particularly convinced, but there’s something that just keeps bringing her back. Over the course of one winter, three lives converge around this very unusual travel agency. It offers them a chance to revisit the choices that have shaped their lives and those of the ones they love, but how can you move forward if you won't leave behind the past? Time Travel for Beginners reminds us that the gift of life is that we can’t go back – that the only way out is through. It’s magical and human and hopeful.

“What would you tell your teen self if you could go back in time? Underhill’s tender, innovative debut is the smartest take on this trope I’ve ever read. . . and for the record, I read it in a single sitting. A beautiful, thoughtful study of how we find our truest selves, and whom we choose to trust with that gift.” — Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author A poignant and enchanting novel about a magical bookstore that transports a trans man through time and brings him face-to-face with his teenage self, offering him the chance of a lifetime to examine his life and identity to find a new beginning. When Darby finds himself unemployed and in need of a fresh start, he moves back to the small Illinois town he left behind. But Oak Falls has changed almost as much as he has since he left. One thing is familiar: In Between Books, Darby’s refuge growing up and eventual high school job. When he walks into the bookstore now, Darby feels an eerie sense of déjà vu—everything is exactly the same. Even the newspapers are dated 2009. And behind the register is a teen who looks a lot like Darby did at sixteen. . . who just might give Darby the opportunity to change his own present for the better—if he can figure out how before his connection to the past vanishes forever. The In-Between Bookstore is a stunning novel of love, self-discovery, and the choices that come with both, for anyone who has ever wondered what their life might be like if they had the chance to go back and take a bigger, braver risk.
