You're the new girl in school. You're just trying to fit in - and it's not working. Then someone accuses you of theft, and you think things can't get any worse. Until you get caught in a freak storm . . . The next thing you know, you're in the future. Being shot at for being out after curfew. You don't even recognise your hometown. And you're heading for a confrontation from your worst nightmare. What if you could change the past to save the future?

Thief!

Lydia's last thought before darkness closed over her mind was that the strange, swirling storm had trapped her. Would it ever let her go? Fleeing onto the moors when she is unfairly accused of being a thief, an extraordinary storm suddenly whirls twelve-year-old Lydia into the future -- a computer dominated future where her home town is ruled by a cruel tyrant. As Lydia struggles to get back to her own time, she discovers she must face a terrible confrontation.

Another book I adored as a child alongside the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The book has elements of time travel and a dystopian, authoritative, mystic, futuristic world; it is just a fun read and a great story. It has a fascinating plot with surprising twists. I loved the fast pace of the story and the adrenaline rush. I also enjoyed the characters. I thought this book was excellent. As a child, I certainly had a taste for good books.
