    About this audiobook

    Fourth grader Odessa Green-Light lives with her mom and her toad of a little brother, Oliver. Her dad is getting remarried, which makes no sense according to Odessa. If the prefix "re" means "to do all over again," shouldn't he be remarrying Mom? Meanwhile, Odessa moves into the attic room of their new house. One day she gets mad and stomps across the attic floor. Then she feels as if she is falling and lands . . . on the attic floor. Turns out that Odessa has gone back in time a whole day! With this new power she can fix all sorts of things--embarrassing moments, big mistakes, and even help Oliver be less of a toad. Her biggest goal: reunite Mom and Dad.

      children's fiction; time travel/school stories. Thanks to her good-at-math brain, 9-year-old Odessa Green-Light realizes quickly that she only gets a limited number of redos, and that they get an hour shorter each time. She has to decide what's worth going back for, and learn that some things aren't going to change no matter how many times you try.
    • 4/5
      I prefer Dana Reinhardt's YA books but this is still a cute story about a girl wanting to change something about her life, and finds out she can. In a Groundhog Day-esque twist, she can go back in time and undo things that went wrong. Cute, but not ground-breaking.
