Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer
Another lovely New York Review Children's Collection edition. Why did I never see so many of these books when I was young?
This one is a particularly lovely story. Charlotte is away at boarding school, and wakes up on her first morning to be in the same bed, in the same room, but not the same. As she begins to discover that she has changed places with a girl several decades earlier, she tries to find ways to cope, and a confidant who she can share the situation with.
As we see things from Charlotte's point of view, we feel her confusion and worry. I found it interesting and a good story.
