Review: Running Out of Time

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Some people might want to compare this to a certain movie but the book came first and as always the book is better. I love person out of time stories. It is so interesting to see modern society from a new perspective and to realize how marvelous it really is. Jessie a young girl who think she is living in 1840 gets a wake up call after diphtheria strikes her small village. It is 1996 and every one in Clifton is a prisoner, not allowed to leave of get proper medical care. Jessie's mother asks her to escape and get help. Jessie finds our modern ways confusing but she quickly adapts. However no one prepared her for the conspiracy that she uncovers.The best part of this book was how the thirteen year old protagonist overcomes our societies unwillingness to believe children and finally gets help for the diphtheria epidemic plaguing her village.
