Praise for Last Chance for Paris by Sylvia McNicoll:
This involving novel combines a family story highlighting the mysterious link between twins with a wilderness adventure told through the eyes of a likable city girl. Written with elements of wry humor and romance, this novel features a narrator whose disarmingly candid opinions make her an appealing guide for readers who usually veer away from backwoods adventures or survival stories. (Booklist)
The story's sharp pacing and very human characters are engaging, and McNicoll deftly portrays the complexities of family and relationships. Readers will identify with the twins' evolving dramas."" (School Library Journal)"
"Sensitive, appealing and extremely thought-provoking, this novel will have readers eagerly following Jade through her week, and fervently hoping that things can work out differently the second time around.
Highly recommended."

What would you do if you only had one week to live? A skateboarding accident claims 14-year-old Jade's life when she skitches (hitches herself to a car) in order to appear on youtube; she neglected to wear the helmet she promised her father she would always use. In a Japanese garden she meets her mother who died when Jade was eight. She begs for the chance to return to earth if only to improve relations between her brother and father and Mom negotiates a one week do-over for her.
