Publisher's Synopsis
Lucas Williams, a thirteen-year-old who mourns the death of his mother, aimlessly logs excessive hours on his computer, avoiding others in the real world. Living in Sage Hills, California in 2011, Lucas stumbles upon an amazing revelation when chatting on his computer with a girl. She lives down the street from him in an old abandoned house and is typing to him from the past-the year, 1981. Misha Logan, also thirteen, is the neglected daughter of a military computer scientist who is working on developing the new internet, in 1981. Lucas and Misha learn that Misha will soon die and Lucas must covertly, uncover clues about how to rescue her. Lucas also surmises that the internet-time window might somehow reverse his mother's death by sending her a warning, back in time. Lucas and Misha flirt with dark consequences by secretly exchanging valuable information from their own time periods while being pursued by a mysterious man who is after this frightening technology.
