About the Book

From New York Times bestselling author of the Ivy and Bean series and blockbuster The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society comes a sweet and charming time travel story. Miri is the non-twin child in a family with two sets of them-older brothers and younger sisters. The family has just moved to an old farmhouse in a new town, where the only good thing seems to be Miri's ten-sided attic bedroom. But when Miri gets sent to her room after accidentally bashing her big brother on the head with a shovel, she finds herself in the same room . . . only not quite. Without meaning to, she has found a way to travel back in time to 1935 where she discovers Molly, a girl her own age very much in need of a loving family. A highly satisfying classic-in-the-making full of spine-tingling moments, this is a delightful time-travel novel for the whole family. Don't miss the sequel: Magic in the Mix

Review :
Readers will savor the author's lively observations ... while the heroine's adaptability and independent thinking endow her with the appeal of a Ramona Quimby or a Clementine. Barrows once again presents utterly real kids... this is pleasing fare that adds a bit of history and a tad of mystery into the mix. Barrows is particularly deft with characters' language, effectively distinguishing between the time periods and mirroring the way kids really talk to each other. This is a handy introduction to time travel for a younger set. For Ivy and Bean: An ALA Notable Children's Book; A Booklist Editor's Choice, Best Books; A Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book (Early Chapter Books); A Book Links Best New Book for the Classroom; one of New York Public Library's 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing; A People Magazine's Summer Reading Recommendation
