Clockwise: Kindle Book of the Day 4/10

When looking at Clockwise from author Elle Strauss, it's hard to decide what the most appealing part is. Am I more interested in the gorgeous cover, more impressed with the glowing reviews, or more captivated by the clever storyline of a girl accidentally taking the boy she likes back in time? The truth is all of these things make this book a clear winner for YA fans looking for a sweet heroine and a heartwarming romance! And it's nice to know the fun continues with the newly released sequel, Clockwiser!

Name: CLOCKWISE (book one in the Clockwise series)
Rating: 4.4 stars over 48 reviews
Price: $2.99 0.99
Description: A teenage time traveler accidentally takes her secret crush back in time. Awkward.

Boy watching with her best friend would be enough excitement for fifteen year old Casey Donovan. She doesn't even mind life at the bottom of the Cambridge High social ladder, if only she didn't have this other much bigger problem. Unscheduled trips to the nineteenth century!

When Casey gets talked into going to the Fall Dance, the unthinkable happens--she accidentally takes Nate Mackenzie, the cutest boy in the school, back in time.

Protocol pressures her to tell their 1860 hosts that he is her brother and when Casey finds she has a handsome, wealthy (and unwanted) suitor, something changes in Nate. Are those romantic sparks or is it just 'brotherly' protectiveness?

When they return to the present things go back to the way they were before: Casey at the bottom of the social totem pole and Nate perched on the very the top. Except this time her heart is broken. Plus, her best friend is mad, her parents are split up, and her little brother gets escorted home by the police. The only thing that could make life worse is if, by some strange twist of fate, she took Nate back to the past again.

Which of course, she does.

Reviews: "CLOCKWISE is a smart, engaging read, a sure hit for lovers of time travel or the occasional history buff. I immediately liked Casey, her awkwardness, and felt like she could be a close friend. Casey's story doesn't disappoint. It refreshingly lacks the overzealous angst common to some YA reads and packs in the values of honest friendships and family relationships with a heart-warming, twist-at-the-end punch. Elle Strauss is a writer to watch. I highly recommend this warm tale."
