The Tomorrow Code, by Brian FalknerYoung Adult, 2008
Best friends Tane and Rebecca theorize about time-travel, only to discover a code sent to them from the future. As they decode it they realize it's to the next winning lottery. But more messages follow, and slowly they realize that it's up to them to save the world from disaster.
I have such mixed feelings about this book. On one hand I really enjoyed the idea, the clues/codes, and the adventure. On the other hand there were quite a few parts that were very unrealistic. I'm sure that's partly because I'm a scientist and I'm not the intended audience. I also was very frustrated with the ending. I think that was the general idea, but seriously...I went through all that for THAT?! However, I'm pretty sure this is a great book for the ages of about 11 or 12 to about 15. There's a little teen romance, but nothing too mushy or inappropriate.
Graded a B-.
