It becomes unrealistic to the max and doesn't give a solution to the problem. It just holds up and shows the future of Lydia's life where everything seems weird because the town is ruled by some mutant tyrant? It didn't match with the storyline at all and just made it unbearable to read. In give it 4 stars because it didn’t give some information about the parents when Lyidia went to the future. Because lyidia didn’t see her parents in the future. So did they die how? Or did they move away when?

Here she meets her future self and her future brother who own a town. They work together and make life very difficult for the residents that live there. when young Lydia finds out what her future self and brother have done, she decides to return to her time and change the future. I think this is a great, fantastic, thriller book and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy, science-fiction thriller books.

Lydia is quite happy with her life; she has just moved down from London to a small town called Tarwich and has already made a friend but then she is blamed for a theft that she did not commit. Suddenly her life turns upside down and everywhere she looks people are pointing at her and shouting ‘THIEF!’. All she wants to do is hide in humiliation and only her 10-year-old brother, Danny, really understands how she feels. Isn’t that nice?Don't get me wrong, the storyline was good for both the present arc and the future arc but merging the two together just gives an unrealistic and distorted take on life and to a point became unbearable. Thief" is not fantasy, per se, but has elements of the supernatural, if you will. The opening chapters are a reflection of true life, but then, as the story progresses, we see our protagonist travelling into the future (I hope that's not a spoiler!). Things really get interesting from there. REALLY.
