Blurb:
Elena Martinez has hidden her eidetic memory all her life—or
so she thinks. When powerful tech giant Aether Corporation selects her for a
top-secret project, she can’t say no. All she has to do is participate in a
trip to the future to bring back data, and she’ll be set for life. Elena joins
a team of four other teens with special skills, including Adam, a science
prodigy with his own reason for being there.
But when the time travelers arrive thirty years in the future, something goes wrong, and they break the only rule they were given: do not look into their own fates. Now they have twenty-four hours to get back to the present and find a way to stop a seemingly inevitable future from unfolding. With time running out and deadly secrets uncovered, Elena must use her eidetic memory, street smarts, and a growing trust in Adam to save her new friends and herself.

My review:
Future Shock by Elizabeth
Briggs is a fast paced fun read with a lot of twists and turns. A big
corporation takes advantage of desperate gifted young people by sending them on
an experimental time travel mission with real consequences. Our heroine is a
smart young Latina who will keep you rooting for her even when things look the
darkest. I liked each of the kids and a few of the “adults”. I thoroughly
enjoyed this book.
