Jenni and Autumn have always been best friends, but a tragedy looms that will leave their friendship in tatters - unless Jenni can find a way to escape time and change the future.
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.
