Important, beautiful, necessary, powerful. I have no other and a billion other words. Every educator should read this book.

THIS WAS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. IT
DEALS WITH LOSS AND AND GUILT AND SO
MUCH MORE. I REALLY LIKED BOTH CORA

THROUGHOUT THE STORY.

While the second half of this book is considerably better than the first half, I still found the whole thing lacking. It just felt so, so contrived and cliched. It wants so desperately to be a big, important story that no part of it feels real, especially the characters. They feel like characters based off book characters, not actual children. In the end, the whole thing feels like it was written with the checklist of important middle grade topics at hand and a determination to check everything it could off the list. Also, there is no time travel in this book about time travel… unless the real time travel is the memories we make along the way?!

I know I read this book like 8 months ago, but I'm kinda bored so I'm writing a review. This book was really really good, although it talked about a lot of heavy topics. I recommend this book to anyone, especially people who have gone through school shootings or similar situations.
