\nby Julie Cross (Author)
\n352 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy\u2026 he\u2019s in college, has a girlfriend\u2026 and he can travel back through time. But it\u2019s not like the movies \u2013 nothing changes in the present after his jumps\u2013 it\u2019s just harmless fun.<\/p>\n

That is\u2026 until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he\u2019s stuck in 2007 and can\u2019t get back to the future. Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these \u201cEnemies of Time\u201d will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler. Recruit\u2026 or kill him.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\nThe first time I jumped was about eight months ago, during my first semester of college. I was sitting in the middle of a French poetry class. I nodded off for a few minutes and woke up to a cold breeze and a door slamming me in the face. I was standing in front of my dorm. Before I even had a chance to panic, I was right back in class again.<\/p>\n
