It is actually 1996, and their home is a reconstructed village that serves as a tourist site. In Running Out of Time, Jessie and her family live in the frontier town of Clifton, Ind., in 1840-or so the girl thinks. Tegen acquired the novel from Haddix’s agent, Tracey Adams at Adams Literary, who negotiated the deal for North American rights.įittingly, since more than two decades passed between the publication of the first book and its follow-up (which takes place 25 years after the original), time plays a pivotal role in the story arcs of both novels. That will change in summer 2023, when HarperCollins’s Katherine Tegen Books releases a follow-up, Falling Out of Time. Yet despite its success, Haddix firmly stood her ground, and the novel remained a one-off. Published by Simon & Schuster in 1995, the middle-grade adventure settled onto bestseller lists and over the past 25+ years has sold almost one million copies. When she finished writing her first book for children, Running Out of Time, Margaret Peterson Haddix deemed it a stand-alone novel.
