Publisher Description

It is Charlotte's first night at boarding school. But when she wakes up, the girl in the next bed is not the person who was sleeping there the evening before. And the new building outside her window seems to have metamorphosed into a huge, dark cedar tree! Somehow, Charlotte has slipped back 40 years....

A classic time-travel mystery from acclaimed author Penelope Farmer.

"I just finished reading this book with my girls. We all enjoyed this story of Charlotte Makepeace, who wakes up after her first night at boarding school to find she has traveled back in time 40 years to the year 1918 and everyone thinks she is someone named Clare Mobley. In the months to follow, Charlotte wakes alternately in her own time and in Clare's. There comes a point in the book where "something" changes and she stays in the past quite some time instead of changing each night, and is unsure if she will ever return to her own time in 1958. It was a fun time-travel story, we all enjoyed it."

    " Rereading a book one read as a child as an adult can be tricky. I had not expected that Charlotte Sometimes would hold up as well as it did. It was delightful and wonderful and I remember why I identified with her so much as a child. "

    " Really enjoyed this book, but was shocked to see the word 'slut' used on page 28 to describe how messy a girl is. Remember this if giving it for a present or reading to under 12s! "

    " Good examination of individuality, especially for a character who has just entered her teens. The sci-fi/fantasy portion could have been much better. "

    " oh! i loved reading this book when i was a young teenager.....dunno where i've placed it though but the main plot is that this character keeps time travelling due to this old creeky bed that she sleeps in.I i think the whole plot is cleverly created to keep you hooked until the last page. "
