Historia
Nix's life began in Honolulu in 1868. Since then she has traveled to mythic Scandinavia, a land from the tales of One Thousand and One Nights, modern-day New York City, and many more places both real and imagined. As long as he has a map, Nix's father can sail his ship, the Temptation, to any place, any time. But now he's uncovered the one map he's always sought - 1868 Honolulu, before Nix's mother died in childbirth. Nix's life - her entire existence - is at stake.

Blends ships and time travel seamlessly!

I quite enjoyed The Girl from Everywhere. I’m fascinated with time travel and ships, and Heidi Heilig blended them together beautifully. She didn’t just imagine a ship that travels through time, but she incorporated old navigational maps into the story. It wasn’t just a ship that happened to also be a time machine, it actually sailed across time to historic destinations depicted on maps, which you can’t get to otherwise. I also like how the mechanics of time travel are constant in this book. It’s not just a chaotic, “anything goes” type of time travel that makes your head spin because you can’t keep up with what is and isn’t possible. (Take notes Marvel Cinematic Universe…) The time travel actually makes since. Heidi Heilig used the self-consistency principle, where the events in one character’s future can affect the course of another character’s past, even before the first character’s future happens. She could have explained the complete timeline at the end of the book a little better, but as a time travel author myself I can definitely sympathize with the extreme difficulty of explaining the complicated timeline of a time traveler.
