Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unteachables, Gordon Korman, comes a hilarious new high-concept friendship story in the vein of Back to the Future. Perfect for fans of Korman’s Restart. Mason and Ty were once the very best of friends, like two nerdy sides of the same coin . . . until seventh grade, when Ava Petrakis came along. Now Mason can trace everything bad in his life to that terrible fight they had over the new girl. The one thing he’d give anything for is a do-over. But that can’t happen in real life—can it?As a science kid, Mason knows do-overs are impossible, so he can’t believe it when he wakes up from a freak accident and finds himself magically transported back to seventh grade. His parents aren’t yet divorced and his beloved sheepdog is still alive. Best of all, he and Ty haven’t had their falling-out yet.It makes no logical sense, but Mason is determined to use this second chance to not only save his friendship (and his dog!) but do other things differently—like trying out for the football team and giving new friends a chance. There’s just one person he’ll be avoiding at all costs: Ava. But despite his best efforts, will he be able to stop the chain of events that made his previous life implode?

I think this may be my favorite from Korman. There are elements of the movie "Big" (remember Zoltar?), but in reverse. Mason is seve......more

Goodreads review by Shane on November 11, 2021

Unsurprisingly, this gave me very similar vibes to Korman's other novel, Restart. While it uses the mechanism of time travel instead of amnesia, the main premise is still a character trying to avoid the mistakes of the past. This was an interesting premise and it was tricky to see where the plot was......more

EARC provided by Edelweiss Plus My students and I cannot get enough of Gordon Korman’s stories.

In this case, the main character gets to experience time travel and possibly h......more
