Death's Ferryman Rides A Harley

by Virginia McCausland

Sixteen-year-old Clara Monroe likes music, dancing, acting, and Einstein. She finds herself in a position to explore Einstein's theory of time when she falls asleep on a bench by the bus stop while waiting for her boyfriend, Peter.
Clara is awakened by the roar of a Harley and a biker named Billy. After a strange discussion with Billy about Einstein's life and theories, she learns that she lost a day and missed her audition for a part in a musical. Not only that, Clara finds a make-shift shrine piled high with flowers, her dance shoes, and her picture. When Billy tells her it's time and offers to give her a ride across the veil that separates the living and the dead, she refuses to go. Seriously, if she is dead, then why would God send a dude riding a Harley to take her to heaven? Everyone knows Death's Ferryman carries the souls of the dead across the river in a boat, not on the back of a Harley.

[Sari Kaufman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great piece of storytelling that I didn't want to put down. So well written with twists and turns that kept me thinking I knew what to expect but then being pleasantly surprised with the next plot twist. This is a refreshing piece of youth fiction that doesn't patronize the reader. Instead it is subtly complex, offering a story on one layer and a thought experiment in the quantum realm on another, for those who are open to a greater challenge. I strongly recommend this read.

Deaths Ferryman Rides A Harley is a book worth reading and is surprisingly filled with life lessons throughout. A great reminder how our actions play a role in others. A perfect read for teens and adults.
