Description
Desperate to return to 1915 Boston, fifteen-year-old Penelope Clark must unlock the secrets of time travel and repair the damage caused by her previous time jump while trying to solve the mystery of her father’s disappearance.
Forgotten by those she left behind, Penn becomes entangled in a plot to dismantle a blackmail organization led by the Ghost and his Shadow. Confronted with a web of deceit so complex that her own father got caught while attempting to expose their family’s biggest shame, Penn must choose between redeeming the mistakes of an unknown ancestor and destroying the fate of the person she loves most.
Penny Found, the captivating second book in the Fatechanger series, takes us deeper into the past, bringing readers one step closer to discovering the truth of Penn’s identity.

Goodreads review:
I read the first book a couple of years ago, when it came out. Bummer for me, the recap on what happened in it is like a sentence long and barely covers any of it, and I don't tend to reread books (only select favorites), so I had trouble figuring out the whys and hows of what's going on. I think the author meant the reader to read these books straight one after the other. I was still able to figure it out, but if you can, it's best to read these in sequence.
Aside from the lack of proper recapping, this book reads much better than the earlier one! It's not often that you rate the sequel better than the original - but I knew this story had something, and now I'm glad to find out I was right. The characters are also much better written, more defined in my opinion - at least from what I remember of the first book. The book left me with a lot of feelings, mostly wistful and sad (I remember the last one left me angry with the characters! 😂)
This book moved me, the story comes together in a way that it didn't in book one, and it's all as if the first one was just a setting. I really got invested in the characters' lives, and I actually have no idea what's going to happen next - I had strong hunches last time. Now I'm kind of bummed out I'll have to wait till the next one again! I hope I won't forget the plot this time 😂
Long story short, this series is definitely worth a go.
I thank the publisher for giving me a free copy of the ebook in exchange to my honest review. This has not affected my opinion.
Instagram review:
What an unusual #timetravel story! (Thank you @blackrosewriting for the free review copy 🙏🏻)I knew when I read the first book a couple of years ago, that this would be a story I should follow, but book 2 definitely delivered more than I expected. This is one of those rare occasions when the sequel is better than the first one.
Fatechanger is about a girl who has a congenital heart disease, and she gets thrown into the past by accident, and has to fend for herself on her own. The first book was more or less just a setup, but it really took off in this one. The characters were so much deeper, and the story really took off. I really can't wait to read the next one, and am deeply worried about the characters! 😶
I really enjoyed the second book in this series. I was intrigued by the fact that it is it a time jump story because I wished that we were able to do that. I think that would be so neat to be able to go back in time. This was also a fast paced, and on the edge of your seat story. And I cannot wait until the next one comes out to see what happens next. At least I hope there is a next one??
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest and voluntary review.
