Summary: Great Aussie SF
Review: This book by Australian authors Damien Broderick and Rory Barns was a little gem I found when I was searching the school library a couple of years ago. I was starting to find time travel interesting (though not hard SF) and this looked interesting so I borrowed it and what a reward! The basic plot centres on teenager Jenny who lives in suburban Melbourne, Australia with her father. Her mother, soon to be remarried, has left home. Jenny is an above average physics student but leads a relatively normal life, with her boyfriend David, best friend Maddy, and new stepbrother Tristan. Until she answers a phone call from the past. The plot is simple but well presented with an example of the Quantum theory and how it affects history and the future. I will refrain from giving out any more plot details because there are a few plot twists from there. All in all it was a great read, even if it didn't take too long and another example of great home-grown fiction.
