What's it about?

Arizona Stevens is in the final year of high school, preferring to play hockey than learning. She lives with her ​​father, as they've got a good relationship with the mother.
But suddenly everything changes. Arizona wakes up in her mother's car, a stranger claims to be her father, and she herself is now Arizona Darley and is a cheerleader idolized. First, it holds everything for a dream, but soon realize they must ensure that it apparently is in a different time.

"Come and find me two years ago ..."

Right now I have the feeling that one is almost overwhelmed by time travel books. Anyway, I've read in the last two months more time travel stories as before in my life together. As always, there are good and bad. "Portal" is without a doubt for me the good.Prologue is about Arizona's mother Olivia, who meets a man in a bar and fell in love with him. Before he leaves, he whispers to her yet, "Come and find me two years ago." Then you're thrown directly into the current action. Seventeen years later, Arizona with her ​​father in his car and goes to sleep. When she wakes up, everything is different. She sits with her ​​mother and little sister in the car, but not in New Jersey but in California, and it is night instead of the afternoon. The father she knows, does not seem to exist anymore, and the man has taken his place in the prologue.Even Arizona's life has changed. She is no longer ice hockey player but cheerleaders, now has blonde colored hair and lives in a huge house in California. Fearing that her mother takes her to a clinic, they behave as normal as possible. The characters are well described. Especially in Arizona, you can put yourself well.Since the story is mainly told from their point of view in the first person perspective, one can understand their thoughts very well.Also, so betrayed not immediately too much, but it is initially left in the dark about what actually happened, and is only little by little closer to the truth. 's writing style is fluid and not too complicated, so you read the story relatively quickly has.Nevertheless, it is always in the thick of the detailed descriptions and feel with the characters.

Conclusion

"Portal" is a great series opener, which will be pleasing to most teenagers. But readers of time travel novels and love stories I can put the book to heart. I enjoyed it anyway, and I loved going to "The Portal Chronicles" more determined.
