SO CLOSE TO YOU, by Rachel Carter


The story: All her life, Lydia has heard stories about the mysterious "Montauk Project", headquartered on their island during World War II. Her grandfather is not only convinced that the stories are true, but he's sure the Project had something to do with his father's disappearance during the War. Lydia is NOT a believer when Grandpa starts talking about the Project...until she herself becomes an experiment in it. Now, stuck nearly 70 years in past, Lydia has to figure out how to save her great-grandfather--and how to get home. If she gets it wrong, he'll be dead...and she'll be stranded for good.

June Cleaver's rating: Language: PG; Violence PG-13; Sexual Content PG; Nudity G; magic and the occult G; substance abuse PG; GLBT content G; adult themes PG; Overall rating PG.

Liz' comments: This is really a historical romance disguised as a time-travel novel. I thought it dragged in places, but it did have an interesting twist at the end that would make someone who'd hung in until then be interested in moving on to the second novel. Hand this to girls who like science fiction--small though that group may be!
