Brynn Caldwell can’t remember why her friend isn’t talking to her, why she’s getting weird messages, and why she knows about bombs.

Brynn is a very smart high school student who works on STEM projects. She’s planning on going to MIT. She broke up with her boyfriend and is getting over a deep depression. Her mom is also a scientist who works for a big drug company. She has developed a new drug that can help soldiers get over PTSD.

Brynn is getting strange messages that are counting down the days. What she doesn’t remember is slowing coming back: she was kidnapped, she was given drugs, she built a bomb. Will she remember enough to stop it?

Great story with a lot of readers speculation. Good for upper middle school and higher.
