Description

Rela gets a new VCR that can tape tomorrow's news today--a nice gimmick until she views her own future. The plot contains profanity, sexual situations and violence.

Quick Summary

If you're looking for a story that mixes the creepy vibe of a classic horror flick with a sci-fi twist, this one's for you. Rela's discovery of a VCR that can record tomorrow's news pulls her into a race against time, because the footage she watches shows her own future something she's desperate to alter. The plot moves quickly, and each new tape raises the stakes, making it a good choice for readers who love a fast-paced thriller that also asks big questions about destiny and choice. Its short chapters and rapid action also make it a good option for reluctant readers who want a story that won't let them put it down. Parents should be aware that the book includes strong language, some sexual references, and moments of graphic violence, so it's best suited for older teens who can handle that content. It's a solid pick for fans of Michael Grant's "Gone" series or any teen who enjoys a mind-bending mystery that doesn't let up until the final scene.
