About this listen

 When a sixth grader is transported to the past, she realizes the recent changes in her present may not be as impossible as they seem. From acclaimed author Frances O’Roark Dowell comes an immersive speculative middle grade novel perfect for fans of Jamie Sumner.

Sarah T. does not believe in magic. She does not believe her best friend has a new best friend. She does not believe her dad still loves her now that he has a new baby with a new wife. Most of all, she does not believe in time travel. But when she follows a pair of beckoning squirrels up up up a long leaf-covered driveway to an empty lot, a house falls on her head.

Sarah T. does not believe a house fell on her head. Yet here she is, now inside the house, which is old-timey, like from the sixties. Then a boy—the new kid in school—shows up. He does believe in magic and time travel…even though he doesn’t quite understand cell phones or computers. And he believes a house fell on Sarah’s head.

For the first time in a long time, Sarah T. feels truly seen, even if it’s by someone she just met. But what happens when the house falls again—this time on them both?
