The Eternal Return of Clara Hart
You're caught in a time loop and there's only one way out. You have to call out your best friend.
Kirkus Reviews: Best Young Adult Books of the Year 2023
Chicago Public Library, "Best of the Best Books 2023"
Spence hates Anthony's sexist jokes, but he never says anything. Anthony's his buddy, and Spence doesn't have many. One Friday, Spence finds Anthony assaulting their classmate, Clara Hart, at a party. Clara flees from the house, is hit by a car, and dies. But the next day, it's Friday again and Clara is alive. Caught in a time-loop, Spence finds himself living the same 24 hours on repeat. Can he change Clara's fate? And what if it's not that simple?
