Back Cover Text: Sherpa’s Adventure: Saving the Future
The year is 2310.
Poverty and pollution have been eliminated and the inhabitants of the earth are experiencing an unprecedented peace. For Sherpa, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the Ruler of the Western World, it is a time to dream big: she wants to be the chancellor of positivity. But an evil dictator’s designs to end the world’s peaceful existence erase that plan. Now she must save the future of the world.
Using a Reality Tracking Device (RTD) developed by brilliant—and gorgeous—eighteen-year-old scientist, Dr. Troy Lichtenstein, Sherpa practices traveling throughout the millennium helping famous names in history such as Amelia Earhart, Gustave Eiffel, and Neil Armstrong avoid making monumental mistakes. When a time travel “hop” lands her in the year 2013, she befriends Emma and Jose who join her on her travels through time. Experiencing adventures such as journeying down the Road of Life, barely escaping from transfiguring Hubots and saving Pineville Middle School from bullying, they must now turn their attention to saving the future before it’s too late!
“This is a thrilling, insightful, and hilarious look into the future. Every page draws you more and more into Sherpa's adventure and the world of 2310. A book for all adventure lovers and space travelers of the future.”—Lara Robinson, actress, The Knowing
“…delightfully well-written novel. The dialogue is appealing, the plotline flows nicely to the story's conclusion, and readers of all ages will appreciate the message that good decisions make for good lives.”—Rated 5 Stars: Readers Favorite
