Rewind

Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about your own childhood or feels a disconnect between the person you are now and the kid you once were. This charming story follows twelve-year-old McKinley as she is mysteriously transported back to 1993, the year her parents were her age. It is a nostalgic and heartfelt exploration of family secrets, the complexities of middle-school friendships, and the realization that parents were once vulnerable children too. The story is perfectly pitched for ages 8 to 12, balancing lighthearted 90s nostalgia with deeper themes of empathy and belonging. It is an excellent choice for families looking to open a dialogue about heritage and the ways our pasts shape our present identities.
