Description
Mick Conway is tired of mourning his mom and wondering when his dad will finally come home. He’s tired of moving to live with yet another aunt or uncle and having to change schools and friends each time he moves. And, as much as he loves his baby sister Emilia, he might be a little less tired if somebody else would take a turn getting her back to sleep at night.
He isn’t tired of electricity, functional sewer systems, or a world with some respect for the laws of physics. But he doesn’t realize how much he cherishes those things until he’s mysteriously dropped somewhere that doesn’t have any of them—though it does have time travel, faceless interlopers skulking in the shadows, and somebody with a sinister plan that could prove deadly. Can Mick help thwart that plan? And can he do so without giving up on getting back home?
A Note From the Publisher
Note that while this is a YA book, it is meant for adults and older or more mature teens--not in terms of content but in terms of language. This is a book for someone who revels in description, rich language, and convincing dialogue. There is no sex or romance, but there is mention of death.

An Ambush of Years tells the story of Mick, who is transported back in time by a mysterious portal to London 1853. He's found by other "alley rats" - other children who have travelled back in time - and starts his training at the Institute. Their duties involve finding other "alleys" or portals and greeting the children that come out of them. Unfortunately, someone is deliberately entering the alleys, making them unstable and causing the children inside the alley to die when they come out.
I was engrossed in the mystery of who was deliberately entering alleys and killing children, and I'm looking forward to the next book!
