A teen story with a difference. London Lane seems like any normal high
school student except that she can’t remember the past – her brain is wiped
clean at 4.33 every day – and worse, she can see what is going to happen next. But
when a new boy arrives in the school she can’t see him in the future but she
does have strange flashbacks to a funeral. Whose can it be? An original, tender
and funny story with familiar high school trappings.
