A book of heartache and humour...A Year Without Autumn is magical in notion, but deals with real, compelling issues. This book really made me stop and think about fate. It's also written with wit and passion (Lucy Thompson WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY)

A gripping story...will have you gripped from start to finish (PARENTS IN TOUCH)

I really enjoyed this book...The story talks about friendship and also the long term effects that can follow tradegy. I really like Liz Kessler's style of writing, easy to read but is descriptive and well written. I recommend this book to anyone buying for a confident reader aged 9+ (Sarah Broadhurst THE SCHOOL RUN)

I was in tears, at the end of the novel. Because I was so relieved the way things turned out. It worked well and the ending made sense and it was great to see how the various strands actually came together through an author's great manipulation. I'd recommend this for younger readers of say 9+ but I'd also recommend it to aspiring writers who would like to read an intricately plotted novel that promises a great deal but then also actually delivers. (Liz de Jager MY FAVOURITE BOOKS BLOG)

This is a fantastic book and I would recommend it to anyone over the age of ten. It will make you laugh, make you cry but most of all you won't want to stop reading. The characters are brilliant and you will become really attached to them. (Molly, 12 years old ANORAK MAGAZINE)

An extremely thoughtful book, tackling big questions...This is a densely written book but if it sounds heavy, be assured that in Liz Kessler's hands, it is not. She writes with a very light touch. It is a story that will have the reader going back to it again and again, taking away something new each time (ARMADILLO MAGAZINE)

Magical... This is a charming book which really made me stop and think about fate. Written with wit and passion, this is sure to be popular this spring. I really can't recommend this book enough...Pure joy (5 MINUTES PEACE BLOG)

This is a gripping and compelling tale of friendship and adventure. It provokes great thought in the reader as they try to solve the time travel that Jenni finds herself involved in. A life changing read which will encourage the reader to reflect on the importance of friendships and family relationships (THE SCHOOL LIBRARIAN)

This book took me on a time travel adventure of my own: I picked it up intending to read a page or two and looked up in a daze a couple of hours later, having almost reached the final page. Compelling, with a cast of lifelike characters and a very intriguing plot... A thoroughly enchanting and absorbing novel (Luisa Plaja CHICKLISH)
