About Book: Fix the past, save your mom...and don't fall for the enemy.

After solving his brother Simon's murder and rewriting history, 15-year-old sleuth Miles Hardy returns to quiet Frontier, Iowa-where cases are scarce, and boredom runs deep. But when their mom's mental health rapidly declines and she's placed in a care facility, Miles and Simon make an impossible choice to travel back to 1999 to rewrite her fate.

In a world of Discmen, JNCO jeans, Britney Spears, and pre-Y2K paranoia, the brothers, alongside the ever-bold Maisie, must navigate high school hallways and family secrets to rescue their teenage mother from the abusive home that sent her down a dark path. But the mission takes a dangerous twist when they discover their grandfather is working for the same ruthless corporation that once hunted the time machine-and he's still after it.

As Simon infiltrates the enemy from within, Miles finds himself torn between fierce, no-nonsense Maisie, and a mysterious new crush who just might be playing both sides. Every choice in the past risks unravelling the future, and failure could mean losing their mom...forever.

Can Miles rewrite history without erasing what matters most? Or will love and loyalty collide in a timeline beyond repair?

Jump back to 1999 in Time Fixers-a heart-racing blend of teen sleuthing, time-travel thrills, and emotional twists you won't see coming.

My Thoughts: Time Fixers by Lee Matthew Goldberg is the second book in the Miles In Time series, a captivating YA time-travel mystery that explores themes of family, redemption, and the power of second chances. Although this book can be read as a standalone, it feels like revisiting old friends, with characters that are as endearing as they are memorable. Goldberg’s storytelling is steady and fluid, making the journey through time an effortless experience.

In Time Fixers, we follow Miles, who has noticeably matured since the first book, despite only a year having passed. His growth is evident—not just in age, but in his mindset and sense of responsibility. He takes on the role of protector with determination, striving to right past wrongs in the hope of securing a better future. Goldberg has crafted a well-rounded protagonist in Miles, one whose courage and determination are as inspiring as they are heartfelt. It's impossible not to root for him as he navigates the complexities of time travel with his brother and the dilemmas it presents.

The novel masterfully weaves elements of suspense and surprise, with plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing right until the very end. These unpredictable shifts not only add layers of drama to the plot but also highlight the stakes involved in altering the past. Goldberg’s ability to blend emotional depth with high-paced action makes Time Fixers a compelling read from start to finish.

One of the standout elements of the book is its exploration of family and the lengths one will go to protect and restore those bonds. This emotional core adds weight to the time-travel narrative, grounding it in relatable human experiences. Whether it’s the connection between parents and children or the loyalty shared among friends, Goldberg captures these relationships with authenticity and heart.

Overall, Time Fixers is a thrilling continuation of the Miles In Time series that perfectly balances adventure and emotion. Lee Matthew Goldberg’s ability to craft well-developed characters within a fast-paced, time-twisting plot is impressive.
