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 EMILYWINDSNAP books plays a fascinating game with time, and explores thechanges that take place in friendships and families in the aftermath of adisaster.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 - Rebecca Renwick, Forrester High
