Great book on epilepsy!

Still remember this book 25 years later, so it must be good. Just recommended it to a teen girl who has epilepsy--was hoping there was a newer reissue, but not yet... With an updated cover, I think this would still be popular today.

I have been searching for this book for over 25 years after it was inadvertantly sold at a garage sale one summer. A truly engaging story that brought to life the incredible advances of the past 100 years in medicine and culture around diseases such as epilepsy. The tale is spun in a vivid historical style which moved me in much the same way as Elizabeth George Speare's books "Calico Captive" and "The Witch of Blackbird Pond." A very worthwhile read.
A classic!

Years after reading this book I searched every used bookstore until I found a copy! There are many out of print books that I read as a child that I would enjoy reading again, but this was my number one priority. It is a masterpeice of mystical time travel.
It was so good, I am searching for it 20 years later....

This book was a favorite of mine when I was a teen-ager. I now have a daughter, and would love for her to read this book. It is about a young girl who is epileptic. She goes on a class trip. She loses her medication and has a seizure. When she awakens, she is now her great-grandmother. This book was exciting and intriguing. I am sorry it is out of print. I hope to find a copy soon!
