hi all, there was a book i read maybe 10-15 years ago about a girl with epilepsy. (her name might have been julie or something beginning with a j.) in the story, every time she had a seizure, she would be transported into another time. i think she would be hoping to get back in the next seizure, but my memory is very hazy on this. has anyone heard of this book? any help is much appreciated! thanks! ---

She had two friend who were twins or something. I can’t remeber what it was called. I will see if I can find it. ---

The book about Jeremy is called _What If They Knew?_ and is by Patricia Hermes, but there’s no time travel in that one–it’s a realistic book.
