Mists of Time

A parent might reach for this book when their child is asking big questions about conflict, fairness, and why different groups of people can't always get along. "Mists of Time" transports readers to a future Scotland where a gentle, communal society built on trust and sharing suddenly collides with two different groups: people from our own 20th century and a hostile, materialistic tribe known as the Barbaric Ones. The story explores how this peaceful community reacts to violence and mistrust, forcing them to question their own values. It's an excellent choice for sparking conversations about empathy, different ways of living, and finding strength in community without resorting to aggression. This thoughtful science fiction adventure is ideal for readers aged 8 to 12.
