\"book<\/a><\/div>\n

Cute girl in a swimsuit,
lovely lake in the woods.
Everyone can see the water,
but no one can see the girl struggling there…
except Daniel.<\/p>\n

The days are growing shorter at the resort, giving him less and less time to solve the mystery of Lexi. Shouldn’t injuries heal up over time, instead of getting worse? As the teens stay near each other through his vacation, Daniel awakens to find the same injuries<\/a> on himself.<\/p>\n

If Lexi is a ghost, why can he touch her? If Lexi is a girl, why is she at the resort alone… and how can they prevent terrible things from popping into the woods during that hour everyone relives when Daylight Saving Time ends<\/a> and the clocks fall back?<\/p>\n

Published in September 2012, you should be able to find Hogan’s first YA book at your local library<\/a> or independent bookstore<\/a> now. Then find some uninterrupted reading time – you won’t want to put it down!

\nMy Recommendation<\/b>:\u00a0 An \u201cactive holiday\u201d away with Dad\u2026couch-potato Daniel can\u2019t imagine a worse vacation. Bicycling through Leisure World\u2019s well-manicured woods to avoid sports activities, the English teen spots a cute girl swimming in the fake lake. And she\u2019ll even talk to him – about his parents\u2019 divorce, Dad\u2019s spiraling depression, but not herself.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Daniel wonders if Lexi is playing hard-to-get or hiding a dangerous secret. He only seems to see her at the lake, never at the pizza place or the pool. She says swimming is a good way to let your mind relax while your body works, so Dan hits the pool, huffing and puffing at first. The more he swims, the more he worries about Lexi.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How can a teenager be at this fancy resort by herself? Why can\u2019t anyone else see her? \u00a0<\/span>Why is her watch running backwards? What\u2019s causing her wounds which seem larger each night?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As the autumn evening approaches when all Great Britain\u2019s clocks turn back one hour, Lexi and Daniel try to find a way to stop a terrible past event from happening again. Part mystery, perhaps some ghost story, all thriller \u2013 will the night of Daylight Saving<\/i> be too late?\u00a0 (One of 5,000 books recommended on www.abookandahug.com<\/a>) Review copy and cover image courtesy of the publisher.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
