Synopsis

It's 2052, and the world is running out of time—but Stevie Henry doesn't know that yet.

Stevie is just trying to save enough money for college before summer ends. That's how she ended up working at the gift shop in the art museum. The world around her is in a cycle of drought and superstorms, ice and fire. . .but people get by.

Then a new intern named Adam shows up. Charming, mysterious, and evasive about his past–he’s a perfect distraction. Except he claims he's traveled back from the year 2201 to save priceless art from an impending catastrophe.

Stevie doesn't believe him. Not at first.

When the signs Adam described start coming true—and the people she loves most are pulled into danger—she has to decide how far she'll go to protect her family when the future itself is warning her that nothing will be the same.

Blending time travel, climate fiction, and Indigenous futurism, The Art Thieves is a gripping, emotionally charged novel from Walter Award-winning author Andrea L. Rogers. Perfect for readers of Nnedi Okorafor, Angeline Boulley, and Octavia Butler, this is a story about what we choose to hold onto (and fight for) when the world as we know it starts to unravel.

Goodreads review by Chris G. on October 20, 2024

The author of the excellent Manmade Monsters created this engaging story of Cherokee futurism. It’s 2052 and teen Stevie is working at the Texas Cherokee Art Museum when she meets visiting artist Adam. She’s attracted to Adam, but suspicious when some of his backstory appears to be fabricated. Stevi......more

The characters were so well written and perfect for this time in the world. The sweet love story was angsty and perfect. The amount of wonderfu......more
