Read in February, 2012

I would have given this book a higher rating except I had trouble following the quick pace. The beginning comes at a fast and furious pace. Tucker, the son of Reverend Adrian Feye, seems like a normal adolescent boy who is impulsive and gets into trouble with his friends. Normal, that is until he notices a shimmering above the barn at his home. His father disappears through it and comes back with a young girl and claims nothing happened but that Tucker should stay away from the barn. With this warning, Tucker sees it has a challenge.
The shimmering are Diskos, of which there are many scattered around and they can take you forward or backward in time and places. The traveling and putting the bits of the puzzle together by Tucker are something else. His Father loses faith in God, Tucker gains it and his mother is lost in her own mind. The pace is fast and furious and needs your attention. I would definitely recommend this book and cannot wait for the sequel.
