4th Grade Novel – First State of Being

The First State of Being by Erin Entrada Kelly takes readers on a heartwarming time-travel adventure that includes a history lesson for the kids and a walk down memory lane for homeschooling parents who grew up in the 1990s! Meet Michael, a young boy burdened by the challenges of a “weighted mind,” as he struggles to make preparations for an uncertain future. When he encounters Ridge, a mysterious time traveler with knowledge of the past—and perhaps the answers Michael has been searching for—his life changes in ways he never expected.
