Date: May 2002 Edition Desc: 1ST Recommend Age Range: 10 to 12 As fourteen-year-old Allison Blair lies in a coma following an accident on a winding mountain road, she is mysteriously transported back to California’s wine country in 1906, where her actions alter the fate of two separate yet connected families. Annotation In 1996, a fourteen-year-old girl in a coma is forced back in time by a girl who died in 1906, and who needs help in righting a series of terrible wrongs. As fourteen-year-old Allison Blair lies comatose in the hospital, she hears in her head the voice of Becky Lee Thompson, pleading for help and pulling Allison back in time to 1906-and into Becky’s body. But why? Is it to prevent Becky’s tragic death, or the death of Joshua, the boy who loves her? Allison must remain in the past-fortified by her own growing feeling for Joshua, and Becky’s will-to make sense of the layers of mystery, blackmail, and mistaken identity so that history will be altered. Becky’s spirit struggles to keep Allison’s body alive. Can Allison save Becky and Joshua and return to her own body before time runs out? 5-1/2 X 8-1/4.
