A parent might reach for this book when their child is struggling with consequences or wishes they could have a 'do-over' for a mistake. Rewind is a fast-paced science fiction novel about 11-year-old Peter, who, after being killed in an accident, is given multiple chances to go back in time and change his fate. The story uses its exciting, video-game-like premise to explore deep emotional themes of personal responsibility, resilience, and family relationships. For ages 10 to 13, it's a compelling choice because it cleverly illustrates that we can't always control external events, but we can control our own actions and attitudes, and that is where true power lies. It’s an excellent conversation starter about maturity and self-confidence.
