This is an excellent Dystopian Future + time slip.    The slightly lower score is because I worry that these books that keep telling children that they can change the future is putting too much pressure on our children.   Additionally the publishers are prompting this as 8+ but personally I think I would be saying at least 10+ I think the dystopian setting is more descriptive and scary than Bren MacDibble books.
