Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card

For the long trip up, I bought the audiobook of Orson Scott Card's Pathfinder. I'd heard good things about it and I have to say it was pretty decent. It is the first of a series so I kinda wish I'd waited to read it as I'm sure it'll be years before the next one comes out, but it was good for the car ride over.

OSC's later books have all been extremely preachy to the point of not being enjoyable. While this still had his trademark preachy issues, they weren't even remotely a focus which made it easy to enjoy. The book deals with kids with special abilities (it is an OSC book!) and in this one, time manipulation is a feature. While the exploration of the possibilities of time travel sometimes got extremely detailed to the point of being indulgent, I'm interested in reading the next one whenever it comes out.
