Book Five of Temporal Exploring 101.
Having successfully completed the task set for her on her First Temporal Assignment, 16-year-old Temporal Explorer Cathy Hart is free to relax and enjoy her remaining two and a half months in the 1960s as a student at an English boarding school before she has to return to the 23rd century.
It is a bittersweet experience for Cathy, knowing that she will have to leave behind a couple of new friends, to disappear from their lives without leaving a trace - among them her roommate and best friend, the brilliant, enigmatic Natty Fogg, and the girl Cathy felt attracted to from the start, the playful, mischievous Mallory Carmichael.
In an attempt to distract herself from thoughts about her imminent departure, Cathy decides to investigate the odd behavior of a teacher who appears to have taken to walking in the park at night carrying a backpack.
