Description

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.
