Rosie Clayton witnesses a mugging on her first night in London - and then the scene rewinds itself.
She finds herself standing in the same place again, with the mugging happening just like before, except this time a stranger steps in and stops it. There's no way the same incident can have two outcomes. Rosie thinks she’s losing her mind, until just a few days later, the stranger saves her.
The stranger, Albert, and his band of misfit crime-fighters, have the special ability to Pull, which allows them to rewind just enough time to undo a recent event. Someone is hunting Albert and his crew - and now that Rosie's been seen with them, she's a target too. Rosie is left with no choice but to trust Albert to keep her safe.
As Rosie learns more about this unbelievable ability and the people - if you can call them that - who want them dead, she discovers that the group's desire for her blood might be more than mere coincidence. Each step into this magical side of London introduces Rosie to a family history that she never knew existed, and dangerous forces that could unravel her world in an instant.
Her family may be the reason they're all being hunted - and she may be the only one who can figure out how to save them. Sure, between the lot of them, they have a few shots to get it right. The thing about Pulling, though, is you have to be alive to do it.

Gr 9 Up—Rosie cannot believe her grandfather's cancer took him so quickly. She does not have time to come to grips with the fact that he would not be a part of her life anymore. Nor can she prepare herself for the impact his dying words will have on her life. "My talent is yours, dear girl. Take it and conquer." She cannot help but wonder what her grandfather meant by that. Then Rosie experiences "the pull," which is what occurs when time is rewound so that an event can be altered. Rosie gains some information from Albert, a librarian whom seems to hold all the answers and who is always present when weird things happen. With Albert and his crew, Rosie learns the truth about time manipulation, demons, and herself. However, the Mortiferi, the demons they must fight, seem to be hunting them and Rosie's family. Rosie must decide who she can trust to get her and her family out of this alive. VERDICT Riley seamlessly introduces readers to a world where you can change the past. Teens will enjoy this journey of a girl who must handle death, addiction, heartbreak, love, friendship, and adventure.—Jessica Strefling, US Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit Library
