Modern-day girl Flora nods off on her way to boarding school and wakes up in 1935. Initially horrified at life without modern conveniences, Flora grows to appreciate the friends she makes. It is only upon returning home that she understands the significance of those friendships. Saunders crafts a winning combination of British school story and time-travel adventure.
