Kate Saunders' Beswitched
Ignore the silly title of this book, b/c it's actually a super cute modern version of Charlotte Sometimes (that book is awesome, if you haven't read it), where a bratty British twelve year old on her way to boarding school is suddenly whisked away to . . . a boarding school. But a boarding school in 1935! Now she has to deal with the crazy ways of the past and try to get back to the future with the help of her new friends (and of course she will learn Valuable Life Lessons, but not in an annoying way). This is an MG book so parts of it are pretty clearly telegraphed, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. And I enjoyed it quite a bit. A/A-.
