Clockwiser picks up about a year after Clockwiser ends. Nate is attending college in Boston and Casey is still in high school. Casey has a new next door neighbor, Chase Miller, who would like to get to know her better and loves to ignore the little fact that Casey has a boyfriend!While her parents are back together, her brother Tim is still acting up. Casey hasn't "tripped" (her term for when she takes off to travel in time... she can't predict when this will happen and can't stop it from happening) in over a year, but an argument with her brother "trips" her back into 1861. Tim is touching her when she "trips" and comes back to 1861 with her!When she comes back, Tim refuses to come back with her, leaving him stuck in 1861. He joins the Civil War... there were parts of this book I didn't enjoy as much as the first one mostly because I wasn't interested in the war scenes.Casey is feeling insecure dating a college boy (thinks he wants more than to date a girl still in high school), and Chase's blatant flirting with her (and her not really knowing how to handle the whole situation very well) has Nate feeling insecure about Casey's feelings for him.There were definitely some turns in the story that I wasn't expecting. I really liked this book, but just not as much as I liked the first one!
