Short description

A teen time traveler accidentally takes her secret crush back in time. Awkward.

Extended description

Casey Donovan has issues: hair, height and uncontrollable trips to the 19th century! And now this --she’s accidentally taken Nate Mackenzie, the cutest boy in the school, back in time. Awkward.

Protocol pressures her to tell their 1860 hosts that he is her brother and when Casey finds she has a handsome, wealthy (and unwanted) suitor, something changes in Nate. Are those romantic sparks or is it just “brotherly” protectiveness?

When they return to the present, things go back to the way they were before: Casey parked on the bottom of the rung of the social ladder and Nate perched high on the very the top. Except this time her heart is broken. Plus, her best friend is mad, her parents are split up, and her younger brother gets escorted home by the police. The only thing that could make life worse is if, by some strange twist of fate, she took Nate back to the past again.

Which of course, she does.

Refreshingly original take on time travel and teen romance marred only by a few glaring spelling and formatting issues.

This was a delightful easy to follow story. I recommend it greatly, and will look for more of this author's work in the future.

I love this book. It is a quick and fun read. It falls in between middle grade and YA for me. I think any age group would love it. It's appropriate for the younger reader. I loved how the book is written in the first person. It is written from Casey's point of view. She is a great young woman. At 16 she has endured quite a bit with time travel and has a very fun personality. There is a little romance and a little action adventure.
I give it 4.5 stars and highly recommend this book!

I enjoyed this book very much. In fact, I loved it. As we say in Sweden "klockren". Wictch could mean fabulous, breathtaking... and much other good words. Because this e-book is worth it. If I could I would spell the word for you to let you know what it sound like. (If you don't already get it). But I can tell you this much: It has to do with bells and clocks. I'm looking forward to read more stuff and hard work by you.

*spoilers*

Wow! Clockwise is amazing! I read this book in just a few hours, and every time I got pulled away to do something else, I whined until no one wanted to be with me. I'm fairly sure they still don't. THAT is how much I love this book.

I love Nate. I love all the characters! But Nate, I think, was my special favorite. He came in at all the right times, said the right things - even when he didn't,, like when he jumped into the fight at the meeting, I couldn't get enough.

Samuel - there were two times when his role in the plot wanted to make me roll over with deliciousness: when he and Casey had just arrived in 1961 and he mentioned the car, a 1959 something something (I'm not a car person) and when he tells Casey his name in her backyard in her present. Just call him the plot-twist man. He's amazing!

Casey was stong - but sometimes that wasn't enough. Twice, Nate had to come and rescue Casey because she "couldn't" do it herself. She's strong, got good reflexes, even athletic - but all she does is threaten to scream! I don't get it. It didn't seem like it was true, and I kept waiting for Casey to wake up and go, "well, that's another dream where Nate comes and saves me and then we fall in love. Too bad I woke up early."

All in all, this book will be on my bookshelf for a long time. And once I'm not broke, I'll definitely buy the sequel!

I read this book in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down (or more precisely, get away from my computer).
Clockwise had it all in my opinion, a strong protagonist, a great love interest, villains, adventure, time travel (obviously) and a little mystery. I thought that Casey was a very likable character. She was strong willed and never whined about her circumstances, she did what she had to do to survive and tried to live life as normal as possible despite the time travelling.
