A teen finds himself in a race against time when he learns he's
given away more years than he has left to live in this
thought-provoking speculative romp. It's been one year since
Hazeem's father passed away unexpectedly, and one year since Hazeem
got his special ability: He can grant any living thing extra time.
Since then, he's been randomly granting people more years to live:
his old friend Holly, his study buddy Yamany, his crush Jack. . . .
The only problem is, none of them wanted to spend any of that time
with Hazeem. Now, Hazeem spends most of his days with his
grandmother. When she experiences a heart attack, Hazeem is quick
to use his power to save her--until Time themself appears and tells
Hazeem he has accrued a time debt, having given away more life than
he has left to live and putting the entire timeline in serious
danger of collapse. In order to save the timeline and himself,
Hazeem must take back some of the life he has granted other people.
Suddenly, Hazeem is on a journey through and against time, but as
he confronts the events of the past, he must confront the mistakes
he made along the way. Hazeem will come to realize that when it
comes to time, quality is more important to quantity--but is it too
late to reclaim the life he's given away so he can really start
living? No Time Like Now is timely twist on A Christmas Carol that
takes readers on a thought-provoking adventure, asking what matters
most in life.
