A laugh-out-loud and punny take on Groundhog Day for young readers from a top-notch author-illustrator pairing.

Ever-punctual Anna Gain is never late, and she's certainly never late for the school bus. Every day she catches it in perfect time. But not today. After a series of absurd events cause Anna to miss the bus, she's transported one minute back in time – only to be stuck re-living the same sixty seconds again … and again … and again … Is fate trying to teach Anna a lesson? And will she ever escape?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.
