The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom's The Time Keeper was an extremely fast read, yet thought provoking.  How often do we count time, watch time, and wish for more time?  The answer: constantly.  The Time Keeper traces the story of Father Time and his quest to save himself by saving two random people.  The story was philosophical, yet also engaging.  It also had an impressive depth especially with the presentation of the three main characters and their respective lives.  Overall, I would recommend this read for any teen who is looking to slow down and appreciate life around him/her.
