Summary

The time-travelling classic about boarding school life, the First World War and the fear of forgetting who you really are.

‘Suppose you got stuck in here, and Clare there in your time. Just suppose you did?’

Charlotte Makepeace’s first day at boarding school is a bewildering blur of unfamiliar faces, timetables, rules and lists. All the other girls know the routine - and each other. No one invites her into their exclusive circles of whispers and giggles.

But on Charlot…

About The Author

Penelope Farmer

Penelope Farmer was born in 1939 in Kent. She was a twin, although doctors weren’t aware of her existence until she was born twenty-five minutes after her sister. Many of Penelope’s novels deal with the issue of identity, and some readers suggest that this is because she is a twin. In Charlotte Sometimes the strange things that happen to Charlotte force her to question her own identity and ponder the possibility that it could be lost.

Penelope Farmer has written many books for both adults and children in the course of her long career as a writer. Charlotte Sometimes is the third book in a trilogy featuring the characters of Charlotte and Emma Makepeace. Penelope currently lives on the Spanish island of Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands.
