In the past, I've sat down to read this book, one-on-one, with several of my high school students. It's basically a high-low romance with time travel thrown in and lots of teen drama, so it was fairly popular in my classroom, especially with the girls. We often had to get through the first chapter or two, since there are a lot of names and my students had trouble keeping them straight.

(I'm sure that they will be explained in the rest of the trilogy) Gwyneth and her best friend are a delight, her interactions with the school ghost (who doesn't know he's dead) are amusing, and her family is just plain baffling. She handles her unexpected ability to time-travel fairly well, considering some of the situations she gets thrust into. I'm dying to know what has created the schism in
