All Jillian Cassidy ever wanted was an exciting adventure. But she never expected one quite like this. After months of being bullied by the most popular girl in school, Jillian convinces her parents to send her to Crest International boarding school in Malaysia, the same school her mom went to as a kid. She can’t wait to experience the school she’s heard so much about. But before she has a chance, she and her three roommates are thrown back in time to Crest’s old location in 1965 Vietnam. Stuck more than 50 years in the past, Jillian, Sam, Meg, and Sadie must figure out how to return home—and adapt to life in 1965 in the meantime. Jillian believes God sent her to 1965 for a reason, and she’s got a hunch of what it is. But when her old bully Maddie starts appearing, Jillian begins to lose confidence in herself. With God’s help, she must find a way to defeat Maddie’s influence on her before it defeats her first. In this tale of adventure and friendship, Jillian goes on some wild experiences, rediscovers herself, and learns what it means to have true friends. This tale of peculiar adventure is followed by Jillian Dangerous and the Extraordinary Secret, the gripping conclusion with an extraordinary secret almost too heavy to hold.
