FFCC99: Orphan Uhoria Labyrinth: 10/05/18

September book sources

The orphan or solo traveler will have ability to travel through time, though in this case the path, though twisted will be easier to follow than that of the maze. As labyrinths are designed to spiral in and spiral out for meditative purposes, the labyrinth here might also be a two way journey, allowing the orphan to travel to uhoria and then back from it. Or it's possible that the labyrinth itself will be a single, spiraling time loop.

One book that by its description fits this category is The Freedom Maze by Delia Sherman (2011). Thirteen year old Sophie slips back in time via a family hedge maze. She arrives in 19th century Louisiana and finds it completely different than she expected.

If you can think of other examples (they can also be films or TV episodes), let me know.
