$12.99 Published by Samuel French Ltd
4 Male 6 Female
Elliot, a young eco-warrior, has fallen from a tree-top during a protest and now lies comatose in a hospital bed
When he fell, he slipped into the past, meeting Lucy, a troubled servant-girl and suffragette from 1913
Elliot saves Lucy's life and, by doing so, is pushed back to consciousness, but he continues to call out, in anguish, for Lucy
Alana, excluded from school for selling drugs, passionately follows all Elliot's TV news coverage and, by strange coincidence, it becomes evident that it was Alana's great-grandmother that Elliot had saved
She is able to assist Elliot's recovery as well as using the past to find peace for herself
Period - 1913 and present day
