Booklist
"Fans of Graff will surely gravitate towards this approachable middle grade story with a splash of sci-fi to spice things up." —
School Library Journal"With classic
Back to the Future flair, Graff (
Far Away) employs snarky prose and abundant early 1990s callbacks to explore issues surrounding fate, destiny, and connection in this immersive, laugh-out-loud time-travel novel that highlights friendship, acceptance, and intergenerational bonds via one 12-year-old’s wish to find a place—or time—in which she truly belongs." —
