Flora Fox doesn't want to go to boarding school. She has to, though, because of a family emergency. On the train to her new boarding school, she falls into a deep, magical sleep, and has a very disturbing dream in which ghosts seem to talk to her.
When she awakens, she discovers that she is in a different century, 1935, to be exact! A woman leads her off the train and into a car. She drives her to a school called St. Winifred's, and Flora is led to the headmistress's room to talk. She tries to explain to Miss Powers-Prout, but she won't hear a word of it. Then she is taken to her dorm, which, to her dismay, she must share with three other girls.
She eventually makes friends with them, and they go on many adventures, and they tell Flora all about how they summoned her from the future, because of course they believed her when she told them that she was from the 21st century. They go through some hard times together, and Flora discovers the task she was sent to do.
She is on the train back to her "family" from the '30s at the end of the term when she mysteriously falls into a deep sleep. . again! When she wakes up she is back in the 21 century! She wonders what has happened to her roommates from the past, and I cannot tell you the rest because I am sworn to secrecy! MWAH-HA-HA-HAAA!!!!!!!
I recommend this book to anyone who loves a fast paced, hilarious, fantasy.
