YA
In this third novel (Autumn Falls; Autumn's Kiss), Autumn finds a locket that lets her observe herself at different times in the future. When she doesn't like what's in store, she adjusts the present (baffling her family and friends), then returns to the future to see what's changed. Autumn continues to be a well-intentioned, if overly naive, protagonist who's unafraid to thoroughly embarrass herself.

YA
With Elise Allen. Autumn (Autumn Falls) finds a map that transports her anywhere in the world. She uses its magic to try to fix her friends' love lives, as well as her own--with complications, of course. This is a superficial wish-fulfillment fantasy, though Autumn is a likable protagonist who's loyal to her friends and unwilling to let guys take advantage of her.

YA
With Elise Allen. Autumn Falls resents her family's move to Florida following her father's death. But things look up once her father's journal, given to Autumn by her superstitious Cuban grandmother, starts granting her wishes. As Autumn adjusts to her new school and makes friends--and enemies--she realizes the repercussions. A breezy, undemanding high-school story with a touch of magic and some satisfying surprises.
