About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is paralyzed by the fear of making a wrong choice or feels defeated by a day gone wrong. This interactive adventure allows readers to step into the shoes of Sunset Shimmer, who is trapped in a magical time loop at a music festival. As Sunset relives the same day, she must learn from her previous mistakes and collaborate with friends to move forward. It is a fantastic tool for discussing perfectionism and the value of trial and error in a low stakes, high fun environment. While technically a brand tie in, the emotional core focuses on resilience and the importance of perspective. It is perfectly suited for independent readers aged 8 to 12 who enjoy having agency over the stories they consume.

Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and lighthearted. It addresses social anxiety and the pressure of performance through a metaphorical lens (the time loop). There are no depictions of death or trauma, and the resolution is hopeful and empowering.
