Fifteen Minutes; or, Martin's Horrible Day
Martin plans to end his life. The universe doesn’t seem to agree.
Moments after a telepathic stranger kills him in the woods, Martin wakes up in a new reality. Then another. And another. Each iteration twists the rules: one day he’s battling a panther in a gladiator arena, the next he’s solving cryptic runes in a dark, Lovecraftian town. But two people remain constant: his neighbor, Sara (Without An H), and a mysterious helmeted figure who seems to understand his pain better than he does.
When Martin fights back against forces that insist he play a role he doesn’t understand, the walls of reality begin to crumble. Reality flickers. Time resets. Martin is forced to confront the memories he’s been running from—and the grief that follows him—before he can decide whether life is worth remembering at all.
I work in a school library and am constantly on the lookout for exciting new fantasy novels for young readers. The Most Wonderful Fairy Tale fits the bill perfectly!
Praise for The Fairy Tale Chronicles
Nicholas Jobe is a great storyteller with an imagination only a handful of us could dream of having.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this tale to my young daughter. She was enraptured by it and would beg me to read more to her all the time.
