Both Sides Of Time

I just finished reading Both Sides Of Time by Caroline B. Cooney. It was actually, sadly, the first book I've had a chance to read all summer! I couldn't put in down, though. It is the first book in a series of four. The description right off the back of the book says, "Imagine changing centuries- and making things worse, not better, on both sides of time. Imagine being involved in two love triangles in two different centuries. Imagine discovering that, no matter which direction you travel in time, you must abandon someone you love. Meet fifteen-year-old Annie Lockwood, a romantic living in the wrong century. When she travels back a hundred years and lands in 1895, a time when privileged young ladies wear magnificent gowns, attend elegant parties, and are courted by handsome gentlemen, Annie at lasts finds romance. But she is a trespasser in time. Will she choose to stay in the past? And if she does, will she be allowed to stay?" The beginning is a little hard to understand, but once you get past it, you will just want to keep reading to find out what will happen next. It's really unpredictable and told through different characters' perspectives. I would definitely recommend it.

I am sorry to hear that you haven't had time to read this summer. That has been one of the best things about my summer is having time to read.

I used to read Caroline B. Cooney when I was in junior high and high school, but I haven't read anything by her lately. I am glad you are enjoying her. The book that I remember most vividly by her is The Face on the Milk Carton.

Happy reading!!
