BOOK REVIEW #4 A YEAR WITHOUT AUTUMN


A Year Without Autumn
By Liz Kessler
My Rating ★★★★★

A Year Without Autumn is written by the same author as North of Nowhere. Both books have a time travel theme but my mom and I think that North of Nowhere was a good story, but it left to many unanswered questions and was a bit too confusing. We think that A Year Without Autumn had a much better way of time traveling. I think you should read both books and see what you think. You can also see my review for North of Nowhere. (It's one post below this one.)

I loved this book. It's about a girl named Jenni and her best friend Autumn. They both go on vacation to Riverside Village with their family's. But when Jenni uses an old elevator to go see Autumn in her condo she finds out that it's not Autumn's condo any more. And when she finds Autumn she finds out that she's traveled one year into the future and a terrible accident has happened to Autumn's little brother Mikey. Jenni realizes she needs to change the future by somehow fixing the past. It was a great book and it had a unique twist at the end which made the time travel part an even better idea.

BOOK REVIEW #3 NORTH OF NOWHERE


North of Nowhere
By Liz Kessler
My Rating ★★★★☆

Disclaimer: North of Nowhere was kind of hard to understand so it was kind of hard to write this review.

I liked it, I didn't give it 5 stars because it was a bit confusing at the end. It's about a girl named Mia whose Grandfather has vanished and nobody in Porthaven knows why. When Mia and her Mother go there to help her grandmother out, Mia discovers that the sleepy seaside village hides a mystery. And Mia's new friend Dee seems so far out of reach when her letters claim she is stuck at home due to violent storms when all Mia sees are sunny skies. Can Mia figure things out and find her Grandfather before time and the tide forever wash away his future...... and hers? Well you'll have to read it to find out.

Post Scriptum; This author wrote another book that I liked better. It's called A Year Without Autumn and I did a review of this one too. It also has a time travel theme but I think it made more sense.
