The Book of Tomorrow

New York Times best-selling author Ahern (PS, I Love You) adds a dash of the paranormal to this family drama centering on teenager Tamara Goodwin, whose privileged life comes to an abrupt end when she relocates with her mother to a small country town. There, Tamara questions who she is and what her future may hold, discovering clues in an unusual journal found on a traveling bookmobile that reveals details of the day to come written in her own handwriting. Narrated effectively by Ali Coffey, this book is sure to delight both older teens and adults generally, who will find that the magic of this story lies not within the strange journal but within the surprisingly likable protagonist.
