"Magical and heartbreaking! You will read this book in one gulp." - Jennifer L. Holm, New York Times -bestselling author of The Fourteenth Goldfish
When You Reach Me meets Starfish in this heartfelt contemporary middle grade about a misfit girl who finds a way to skip all of the hard parts of life.
J.P. Green has always felt out of step. She doesn't wear the right clothes, she doesn't say the right things, and her body...well, she'd rather not talk about it. And seventh grade is shaping up to be the worst year yet. So when J.P. discovers a mysterious door in her neighbor's treehouse, she doesn't hesitate before walking through. The door sends her three days forward in time.
Suddenly, J.P. can skip all the worst parts of seventh grade: Fitness tests in P.E., oral book reports, awkward conversations with her mom...she can avoid them all and no one even knows she was gone.
But can you live a life without any of the bad parts? Are there experiences out there that you can't miss?
This moving middle grade novel about mental health, body acceptance, and self-confidence asks what it truly means to show up for the people you love-and for yourself.
Ages 9-12 years. Bloomsbury.
Grades 7-9. Bloomsbury.
When twelve-year old J.P. discovers a magical treehouse that sends her three days forward in time, she uses the portal to skip all the worst parts of middle school, despite the consequences.
