REVIEW: “Skip, Hop, Jump” by Amanda Bintz

Review of Amanda Bintz, “Skip, Hop, Jump,” Luna Station Quarterly 55 (2023): Read online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.

I do like a good time-travel story, though I’m often disappointed by them. Bintz’s story was not disappointing; I really enjoyed how she took the spatial metaphor for time travel seriously, and used the resulting images as a red thread tying the whole story together. The story itself is full of serious moments, of childhood illness and trauma, but also moments of light.
