A Year Without Autumn by Liz Kessler
4.0
3.5*
I was obsessed with books about time travel when I was younger for some reason. I read A Year Without Autumn about twenty times when I was ten. The idea of someone being able to travel years at a time into the future was addictive, and I think that’s what instilled the love of science fiction in me.
The book is sweet, but the main character is able to completely reverse the future’s course of events on her own - she is a little too invincible. Sometimes terrible things happen and cannot be stopped, yet this book conveys the opposite meaning. It’s a worthwhile read for younger kids, though.
