Reach for this book when your child is struggling with intense sibling rivalry or feeling like the constant victim of a brother or sister's pranks. It offers a fantastical outlet for the universal feeling of wanting to erase a sibling's annoying behavior, while subtly showing the unintended consequences of acting on those impulses. In this Goosebumps adventure, Michael Webster is so fed up with his bratty sister Tara that he tampers with a mysterious cuckoo clock to get her in trouble. Instead, he triggers a time-slip that begins erasing years of his life. As Michael wakes up younger and younger, he realizes that his wish to get rid of his sister might come true in a way that deletes his own existence too. It is a fast-paced, slightly spooky exploration of family dynamics and the importance of appreciating what you have, even when it is frustrating.
