Insta-Closets deliver new clothes every morning, Insta-Ovens deliver gourmet meals on demand, and virtual reality goggles let her have any adventure she wants, with friends from all over the world. Then one day Zola finds a handwritten note in her Insta-Closet: *If you want to see things as they really are, come find me.* What if Zola’s wrong about everything—even the year? As she struggles to figure out who wrote the note, she discovers a printed book in her Insta-Closet called *The Jessie Keyser Story: How One Girl Escaped from Clifton Village*. Zola wonders: Who is Jessie Keyser, and why does she look like her . . . and what else do they have in common? In this sequel to the classic novel *Running Out of Time* , Margaret Peterson Haddix has crafted a riveting page-turner that captures the terrors of a world where nothing seems real—but finding out who really loves you still matters.
