A gripping, page-turning mystery adventure from the bestselling

The night before a Monday that will include a maths test and another

TV, have pizza for dinner over and over again and play the
lottery knowing which numbers will win big! But Cory soon longs
for life to move on - can he break the time loop and bring the
forever weekend to a close?
