A Year Without Autumn

A Year Without Autumn
by Liz Kessler

How would you like to ride on an elevator that takes you to the future?  That’s what happened to Jenni when she rode an old elevator in her best friend's building.  After stepping off the elevator, she learns that she has gone ahead in time one year and that everything has changed.  Her best friend Autumn’s family is falling apart due to a tragedy that occurred the previous summer.  Jenni has no idea what she missed during the year.  Unfortunately, this isn’t a problem that can be easily fixed by riding the elevator back downstairs!  As she continues to ride the elevator, things continue to change and Jenni soon has large gaps in her life that she must fill in.  She knows the answer lies somewhere in the elevator, but can she find it in time to save her family and friendship?

I thought this was a nice story that focused a lot on friendship.   I loved how Jenni was so devoted to helping her friends and family. The time-traveling elevator certainly gives the story some great twists!
