A Year Without Autumn

by Liz Kessler

Jenni and Autumn are the best of friends, and their moms are best friends, too. Their families even vacation together, and they each own a timeshare where they meet every year. A few days into their vacation, Autumn asks Jenni to go horseback riding, but on the way Jenni decides to take the old-fashioned elevator instead of the new one. She goes up a floor, but when she gets to Autumn's condo, it's not Autumn. An old lady answers the door, and has no idea who Autumn is. Jenni soon realizes that she's gone forward in time a year, and that during that time, something horrible has happened to Autumn's brother. Is Jenni stuck in the future, or can she get back in time and change things for her best friend's family?

The first page of this book had me hooked instantly, and I can't really explain why. I think because Jenni's voice immediately drew me in. I couldn't wait to find out what horrible thing happened to Autumn's brother, and once that was revealed, I had to find out if Jenni would be able to save the day.
