Two girls. Two different timelines. One notebook that could save the world.
Thirteen-year-old Olivia is just trying to survive the boredom of her everyday life. But everything changes when she discovers a strange, crimson-covered journal in the dusty aisles of a local thrift store. When she writes a message on the blank pages, the ink disappears in a flash of violet light-and someone writes back.
That someone is KK.
Twelve-year-old KK doesn't live in a world of quiet backroads and ordinary school days. She lives sixty-five years in the future, in the dark and dangerous year 66 AB. It is a dystopian landscape where the sky is fractured, glowing silver webs choke the ruined cities, and terrifying mechanical Bug-drones hunt down the last remnants of humanity. For KK, survival means staying hidden inside a reinforced bunker.
As the two girls connect across time, they realize the journal is much more than a magical anomaly; it's a temporal bridge. The apocalyptic future KK is trapped in was triggered by a catastrophic technological glitch in Olivia's present-an event tied to a secretive local facility known as Aether-Netics.
With the timeline collapsing and the Hive-mind closing in on KK's coordinates, Olivia must team up with her friends in the present day to infiltrate the facility and stop the disaster before it ever happens. To save KK's life, Olivia has to rewrite the future.
Written by J.L. Pell, The AB Era is a heart-pounding sci-fi adventure that proves the strongest connections can defy time itself. Perfect for fans of middle-grade dystopian thrillers, urban exploration, and stories of unstoppable friendship.
