Spoiled, rich, and rebellious, 16-year-old Tamara Goodwin had it all until the day her father died. Losing her father was bad enough, but on top of that, she and her mother find that they're left with so much debt that they have to sell absolutely everything they own in order to pay it all off. This forces them to move to a tiny country village to live with her aunt and uncle.
The house they move into is a gatehouse located on the property belonging to a burned out ruin of a castle. But Tamara is drawn to this castle and can't seem to keep from returning to it day after day. It is here that she meets Sister Ignatius, a nun that is still lively and fun in spite of her advanced age. Tamara finds that she really likes the nun and forms a friendship of sorts with her.
It's good that she had these things to look forward to because there are some very odd things going on at her aunt and uncle's house. Her mother sleeps all the time and never leaves her bedroom. Tamara's Aunt Rosaleen refuses to let Tamara spend much time with her mother, which worries Tamara even more. In addition, Aunt Rosaleen seems to never want Tamara out of her sight.
One day, a traveling library ends up at the house in the form of a cute guy looking for Sister Ignatius. Forging an instant friendship with Marcus, she boards the library van and starts looking through some books to pass the time. This is where she finds an odd book with a lock on it. Deciding to keep the book, she seeks the help of Sister Ignatius in opening it, only to find it filled with blank pages.
Figuring it's a diary of some sorts, she takes it home, planning to write in it the next day. When she opens it the next morning, she finds it filled with a diary entry in HER handwriting and dated for the FOLLOWING day. It gets even odder when the events foretold in the diary actually come true.
Tamara decides to start using the diary to her advantage by altering the events laid out in the diary. Can she really change the future? More importantly, can the diary help her solve the mystery of all the secrets that are going on around her?
THE BOOK OF TOMORROW is one of those books that you really don't want to put down until you've reached that last page. It's a highly involving and absorbing book as one chapter leads right into the next. The secrets do come out by the end and you may be shocked to see just what they are.
What if we knew what tomorrow would bring? Would we fix it? Could we? Born into the lap of luxury, sixteen-year-old Tamara Goodwin has never had to look to tomorrow, until the abrupt death of her father leaves her and her mother a mountain of debt and forces them to move in with Tamara's peculiar aunt and uncle in a tiny countryside village. Lonely and bored, Tamara's only diversion is a traveling library. There she finds a large leather-bound book with a gold clasp and padlock. Intrigued, she pries the lock open, and what she finds inside takes her breath away. Tamara sees entries written in her handwriting and dated for the next day, and when they happen exactly as recorded, she realizes she may have found the solution to her problems. But Tamara soon learns that some pages are better left unturned and that, try as she might, she can't interfere with fate.
