Aviary Hall 3
Charlotte Sometimes
by Penelope Farmer
Two young, boarding-school students—Charlotte in 1963 and Clare in
1918—swap minds through time every night, until one day the bed that’s
causing all this magic gets moved to the hospital ward, and they are stuck in each
other’s times.
— Michael Main
“But I’m not Clare,” Charlotte began to say hopelessly, then stopped herself,
explanation being impossible, especially since this girl seemed to think so incredibly
that she was Clare.
