Time Rhythm

An Instant New York Times Bestseller, this pulse-pounding novel is the first in a thrilling time-travel adventure series created by Academy Award-winning, Grammy-winning, and New York Times bestselling author Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and bestselling author S. A. Cosby. Perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers and Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky, this story follows seventh grader Rahim Reynolds and his genius friend Kasia Collins.

Rahim can't resist testing out Kasia's latest invention, a special cell phone she built for his birthday. Despite his parents' objections, he is eager to use the phone to search for videos of his favorite old-school rap group. Little does he know, the phone is equipped with a unique battery that connects to a secret government satellite, leading to an unexpected trip back in time to 1997.

Immediately faced with the reality that his actions in the past could change the future, Rahim must rely on Kasia to help him navigate this dangerous new world. As they work together to find a way back home, they must evade bullies on Rahim's end and suspicious government agents on Kasia's end. The late nineties Philadelphia setting is both unfamiliar and nostalgic for Rahim and Kasia, while Questlove and S. A. Cosby craft a fast-paced narrative that explores the true meaning of friendship and the importance of finding your way back home.
