23 Minutes by Vivian Vande Velde, 176 pages
Zoe is in the foster care system because her mom is in jail for
stabbing her dad. Her dad recovered but
doesn’t want her. She’s 15 now but when
she was younger she was almost hit by lightning and after that she found that
she could travel back in time exactly 23 minutes, for up to ten times. Everything stayed the same unless she did
something to change it. On a rainy day,
Zoe finds herself in a bank that is being robbed. When the situation goes very wrong, very
fast, Zoe has to decide what she can do differently to fix it. This realistic science fiction story is
excellent. I didn’t want to put it
down. It’s not very long and was a
fairly quick read and I would give it to teens who like this genre.
