Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a digital advanced copy. This is a sequel to the book Running Out of Time from over 20 years ago. I read Running Out of Time as a kid, and last year reread some of my favorite Margaret Peterson Haddix books including that one. I am very excited to have read this sequel. The characters are wonderful and connected to the first book. In the first book, Jessie is living in the 1800s, but it is really the 1990s and she must save the people in her community from an outbreak that the orchestrators of the historical experiment are not willing to save the children from. In this sequel, Zola is a twelve-year-old girl living in 2193 as far as she knows. Virtual reality is a part of almost everything she does, and clothes and food are almost instantly delivered at her and her mother's every whim. When she starts to learn that not everything is as perfect as it seems in this future experiment, she has to risk everything and leave the perfect world she has always known to start to experience real life and protect the safety of others. This was a delightful read and well worth the wait. It is rare to see a book and author from your childhood hold up us an avid adult reader, but Margaret Peterson Haddix will continue to be a favorite author of mine.
