23 Minutes by Vivian Vande Velde

 I picked up this book from one of my very favorite authors, Vivian Vande Velde. Zoe, age 15 and a half,  has an unusual ability to travel back in time for exactly 23 minutes. There are restrictions. No one remembers the previous 23 minutes but her and she can't take anything back in time with her. Once time starts to replay she only has those 23 minutes to decide to replay them again. Once she hits 24 minutes then she has to wait another 23 minutes before going back in time another 23 minutes. AND she can only repeat the same 23 minutes 10 times. Got all that?! To make matters worse the repeated 23 minutes usually turn out worse. She has usually used this only when she has had embarrassing moments or wanted to impress a guy. This time, however, the stakes are a bit higher. 

This is a young adult book and has some violence as the crime scene is described. 

Science Fiction, time travel, crime, action

Recommend: Sometimes
