What if you could stand beside Einstein when relativity was born — or watch Steve Jobs envision the future in a Silicon Valley garage?

For four gifted students at a Palo Alto academy, that question becomes breathtaking reality.

When the group uncovers an antique compass hidden in a nearby garden, their enigmatic mentor, Professor Roy, reveals its secret: the artifact enables resonance — a form of mental time travel that drops them directly into history's most electrifying moments of human genius.

From the birth of quantum physics with Albert Einstein, to the invention of the integrated circuit with Robert Noyce, to the digital revolution ignited by Steve Jobs, the teens don't just witness history — they live it. They feel the pressure of impossible ideas, the sting of failure, and the intoxicating spark of world-changing discovery.

But as the journeys deepen, so do the stakes. The compass may have a purpose far greater than any of them imagined — and its fate could shape generations to come.

Perfect for fans of Walter Isaacson's The Innovators, readers who loved The Alchemist, and anyone who has ever wondered what it truly takes to change the world.

A sweeping coming-of-age adventure that blends historical fact with imaginative fiction, The Compass asks the questions that matter most: What is genius? What is responsibility? And what will you do with the knowledge you carry?
