Anna Gain is never late. But when she misses the school bus at 8:03 am, she reappears at her house, and it is suddenly back to 8:02 am. The neighbour's cat, Pandora, is still there, her brother is unaware of what happened, and Anna has to try again. And again! The same sixty seconds repeats for Anna sixty-four times. Every time she misses the bus, she appears inside the house with her dad telling her not to miss the bus. Around the seventy-sixth time, Anna starts giving up on going to school. A very enjoyable and engaging Groundhog Day-style story with a mind-bending plot.
