Beswitched (2011)
“Flora was sure she was not dreaming now. She struggled to open her sleep-swollen eyes. Who had spoken to her as if they knew her? Where was she? Yes, she was on a train—but a different train. It swung and creaked and clattered, with a regular rhythm—ta-ta-ta-TUM, ta-ta-ta-TUM—that made her thoughts march in time to it like soldiers.
The light was dim and yellow. It came from two funny little lamps in the wall. She was in a compartment with a sliding door. Outside the window were gray hills that... were fading into darkness. On the wall underneath the luggage rack was a small framed picture of a sunny beach, and the words “PAIGNTON—England’s Summer Playground.”
Flora looked down at her own arm, and her heart did a somersault of shock. Instead of her long-sleeved T-shirt, she appeared to be wearing a dark green jacket. Something was throttling her neck uncomfortably—a green tie with red stripes, like the tie her dad wore to his office. How did it get there? She had never worn a tie in her life.MoreLess
