An honest exploration of tween anxiety in the crisis-heavy 21st century, with a STEM-infused sci fi twist, twelve-year-old Abby has a lot to worry about: Climate change. The news. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. And now moving to Florida for her mom's new job at an aerospace company.

On the Space Coast, Abby meets two boys, Adam and Bix, who tell her they're "a long way from home" and need her help. Abby discovers they're from the future, from a time when all the problems of the 21st century have been solved. Thrilled, Abby strikes a deal with them: She'll help them—if they let her come to the future with them. But soon Abby is forced to question her attachment to a perfect future and her complicated feelings about the present.

Praise for A Long Way from Home

Praise for Laura Schafer:

  • "Funny, fact-filled, and philosophical. This is an inspiring story for any kid who has been forced to move—to a new school, a new state, or a new point on the space-time continuum."—Edward Bloor, author of Tangerine and Taken

  • "A blend of fantasy, science fiction, and coming-of-age, Laura Schaefer's smart middle-grade novel is A Wrinkle in Time for the modern day. From the first gripping page to the clever twist at the end, A Long Way from Home is sure to delight both avid and reluctant readers of all ages. You won't want to miss this remarkable book." —Karen McQuestion, author of The Watchful Woods series
