The Song of Glory and Ghost, the second book in the Outlaws of Time series by N.D. Wilson, delves into themes of courage, self-sacrifice, and the fearlessness in the face of death. The story follows Glory, a new superhero equipped with terrifying powers she must learn to control as she embarks on a journey through time to save a young boy's life in order to preserve the future. Set in a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by the Vulture, the narrative unfolds in the moody Pacific northwest, where lawless bands of survivors claim territories and face off against revolting new villains.
Wilson's writing style is described as beautiful and not preachy, blending theological elements seamlessly into the narrative. The book features a showdown at the end that is deeply satisfying and resolves storylines effectively, incorporating fantastic elements and references to Peter Pan, Aztec demonesses, and a unique post-apocalyptic setting.

From The Publisher:
From the bestselling author of 100 Cupboards comes the second book in a one-of-a-kind middle grade time travel series that is perfect for fans of Soman Chainani's School for Good and Evil books.
Sam Miracle never thought that his future could lie in the past. But after leaping through centuries at the side of a mystical time walker, Sam and his best friend, Glory, know that the next morning's sun could belong to yesterday as easily as tomorrow.
But no day is safe. Since the Vulture escaped, Sam and Glory's greatest nemesis has left no time nor place unmarked by his path of destruction. At least Sam and Glory have Peter, the youngest version of their mentor, Father Tiempo, to help repair the sands of time... until they don't.
Determined to save their friend from the Vulture's clutches, Sam and Glory put their trust in Ghost, a creature from before time itself. But now, the sidekick must fill the legend's shoes, the hero must play backup, and the powers they have yet to discover might just hold the key to protecting every last second for eons to come.
