A gripping, page-turning mystery adventure from the bestselling
author of modern classic The Goldfish Boy
Cory dreads Sunday evenings. It's school the next day, where a
bully is picking on him and he's struggling to keep up in class.
The night before a Monday that will include a maths test and another
lonely lunch break, Cory wishes that the weekend would never
end... and when he wakes up the next day, time has reset itself
to Sunday morning. This is amazing! He can lounge about all day watching
TV, have pizza for dinner over and over again and play the
lottery knowing which numbers will win big! But Cory soon longs
for life to move on - can he break the time loop and bring the
forever weekend to a close?
a wonderfully funny and imaginative twist on classic movie Groundhog
