About the book

Synopsis

You're the new girl in school. You're just trying to fit in - and it's not working.

Then someone accuses you of theft, and you think things can't get any worse. Until you get caught in a freak storm . . .

The next thing you know, you're in the future. Being shot at for being out after curfew. You don't even recognise your hometown.

And you're heading for a confrontation from your worst nightmare.

What if you could change the past to save the future?

Gripping tale
- Independent on Sunday

An exciting and ambitious story...also portrays a very realistic picture of bullying and the victimisation of a newcomer to a close-knit community.Behind the fast-moving adventure, and the gadgets and gizmos of the 21st century, however, lies a moral tale which successfully raises important issues about conscience, society and human behaviour

Gets off to an exciting start and the tension never lets up.
