Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the realization that growing up means taking on more responsibility, or when a family member is diagnosed with a chronic illness like dementia. This story follows Gypsy, a girl who expects her thirteenth birthday to bring a magical talent that matches her free spirit. Instead, she receives a confusing power to see time just as her grandmother, who has Alzheimer's, moves in. The narrative beautifully balances high-stakes magical mayhem with the grounded, emotional reality of a family adapting to a relative's memory loss. It is a perfect choice for parents wanting to normalize the 'messiness' of family life and the importance of empathy. Geared toward middle-grade readers, it offers a whimsical yet profound look at how we can still find our footing even when our world, or our family, feels like it is spinning out of control.
