Time travel YA books



Had your fill of vampires, werewolves and faeries? Try time travel! Yes, the next big thing seems to be people going back in time to save the ones they love, not to mention the world. But be warned--they do have a romantic flair. There's Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone; Timeless by Alexandra Monir, about a girl who falls in love with a boy living in New York City’s Gilded Age; and Houglass by Myra McEntire, about a girl who meets a member of the Hourglass Institute, an X-Men-type agency where she learns her curse is really a gift
For more of a guy’s perspective with secret agent flair, try Tempest by Julie Cross. And if romace isn’t your thing at all, there’s Alex Scarrow’s TimeRiders series, where three teens who have escaped death instead portal to different moments in time to stop those from radically changing it. Happy time traveling!
