After Nathan's mother is hit by a bus, his life changes dramatically.

As he struggles to come to terms with her loss and learns to live with his father, his life takes a sudden turn . . . one he never thought possible.

His father mysteriously vanishes through a hole in the bathroom wall.

Trying desperately to keep his life from falling apart, Nathan tries to find his father but bizarre things continue to happen. He ends up in the past, trying to keep his father from ruining their only chance at happiness.

COUNTER CLOCKWISE is a fun, quickly paced novel in which the main character grows as he discovers how the past, present, and future are linked.

Cockcroft creates a relatable character in Nathan, and I enjoyed going COUNTER CLOCKWISE.
