Dreadful Sorry
The author of Time Windows “has crafted a fine tale of psychological time travel . . . this well-executed story transports readers into the plot” (School Library Journal, starred review). Seventeen-year-old Molly’s recurrent nightmares become waking visions after she nearly drowns at a party. Soon she’s witnessing events through the eyes of a girl who lived in her father’s house nearly a century before. In Dreadful Sorry “Reiss slips between past and present with a callous alacrity that is wondrously effective; readers will buy into the unfolding revelations while gaining a true sense of Molly’s tenuous grip on events . . . another fine spellbinder from the author of Time Windows” (Kirkus Reviews). “Spooky and satisfying.”—The Bulletin “With its skillful plot twists, the book will have readers anxious to solve the mystery.”—School Library Journal (starred review) “Suspenseful and difficult to put down.”—VOYA
