About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is weighed down by a mistake or the agonizing 'what-ifs' that follow a bad decision. It is an essential read for children who are struggling with the permanence of their actions and need a safe space to explore the concepts of guilt, responsibility, and the reality that some things cannot be undone. Through a clever science fiction lens, the story follows Gib Finney as he uses a mysterious device to try and prevent a family tragedy. While the 'Un-Doing' machine offers a fantasy solution, the book deeply explores the very real emotional weight of sibling love and the difficult process of moving forward. It is perfectly pitched for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a sophisticated look at ethics and consequences while remaining grounded in a relatable middle school world.
