Back to the Future meets When You Reach Me in this powerful novel
by National Book Award nominee Lisa Graff.
As far as twelve-year-old McKinley O'Dair is concerned, the best thing
about living in Gap Bend, Pennsylvania, is the Time Hop--the giant party
the town throws every June to celebrate a single year in history. That
one day is enough to make the few things that aren't so fantastic
about McKinley's life--like her crabby homeroom teacher or her
super-scheduled father--worth suffering through. And when McKinley
learns that this year's theme is 1993, she can't wait to enter the Time
Hop fashion show with a killer '90s outfit she's designed and sewn all
on her own. But when the Time Hop rolls around, nothing goes as planned.
In fact, it's the biggest disaster of McKinley's life.
Before she knows what's hit her, McKinley somehow finds herself in the
real 1993--and it's not all kitschy parachute pants and Jurassic
Park. All McKinley wants is to return to the present, but before she
can, she's going to have to make a big change--but which change is the
right one?
This humorous and heartfelt novel about destiny and self-discovery
shines a poignant light on the way life could play out--if a person is
given a chance to rewind.
