Bootstrap(): An unlikely tale of robots, time travel, and botany

by Jade Cahoon

In the year 2197, Winnipeg is one of the last truly habitable places on Earth after centuries of climate change. Rising seas have destroyed most major cities, and disease has ravaged the planet, both people and plant-life alike.

A mad genius has discovered a way to cut the Gordion knot humanity has entangled itself time-travel. But his invention only allows for a one way ticket... back.

Seventeen-year-old Claire Bellamy doesn't particularly want to go back in time to the mid-twentieth century, but her family has finally decided to evacuate the future for greener climes. That is, until a very human-seeming robot grabs her hands and pulls her back further than she could have imagined.

So fun and whimsy but yet engaging.
