If you could see into the future – would you look?

Jenni Green doesn’t have a choice. On her way to visit her best friend, Autumn, Jenni suddenly finds she’s been transported exactly one year forward in time.

Now she discovers that in the year that’s gone by, tragedy has struck and her friendship with Autumn will never be the same again. But what caused the tragedy? How did Jenni skip a year? And can she find her way back to the past to try to change what lies ahead?

With humour – and her customary light touch – the author of the EMILY
WINDSNAP books plays a fascinating game with time, and explores the
changes that take place in friendships and families in the aftermath of a
disaster.

Waterstone's Books Quarterly

This is an amazing book, I really liked it because the characterisation is amazing - you can really imagine what they all look like, you can feel Jenni's fear, her happiness and what it's like to have your world turned upside down.

TEEN TITLES

I liked Liz Kessler's pacey compelling style ... and the skilful way in which she places her timeslip device so carefully in moder life that it seems surprisingly plausible

SCHOOL LIBRARIAN

A gripping and compelling tale of friendship and adventure ... a life changing read
