Puddle Jumper - Paperback

by T. J. Laverne (Author)

What if the love of your life lived a thousand years before you? In the Steampunk Old West, Vincent comes across a giant puddle in a courtyard and sees the reflection of a girl instead of his own reflection. Her name is Leena, and she's a Celtic Briton who lives in England in 500 AD. Vincent and Leena grow up communicating with each other through the puddle for years, until their friendship grows into something more. They vow to find one another, no matter how long it takes. Complications ensue when Leena is captured by the Saxons, who have taken over her land, and Vincent is wanted for accidental murder. Desperate to escape, they each discover that the puddle is, in fact, a time portal, and end up unknowingly trading places. Lost in each other's lands, they encounter Wild West gangs, the original Arthur of the King Arthur legends, and an eerily similar battle between settlers and natives. But they also discover that there is more to the stories of those around them than meets the eye... This first novel of the Puddle Jumper Trilogy is only the beginning of Vincent and Leena's tireless search for one another across time. Book Two of the trilogy is "Sacred Bird."
