Odessa Again
Odessa Again | Dana Reinhardt
1 post | 1 read
Fourth grader Odessa Green-Light lives with her mom and her toad of a little brother, Oliver. Her dad is getting remarried, which makes no sense according to Odessa. If the prefix "re" means "to do all over again," shouldn't he be remarrying Mom? Meanwhile, Odessa moves into the attic room of their new house. One day she gets mad and stomps across the attic floor. Then she feels as if she is falling and lands . . . on the attic floor. Turns out that Odessa has gone back in time a whole day! With this new power she can fix all sorts of things--embarrassing moments, big mistakes, and even help Oliver be less of a toad. Her biggest goal: reunite Mom and Dad.

Odessa Again is a SF book. It's about a girl who discovers the attic of her new house has a loose floorboard that allows her to travel through time back 24hrs. Each time she can travel 1 less hour (24, then 23, then 22, etc.) She uses that "power" to try and fix embarassing moments, mistakes, and even her parent's marriage. It includes topics like divorce, family, friendship, fitting-in, etc. #UCFWaltersLit

TanishaRosa I also liked the way the topic of divorce was presented; it had a realistic yet optimistic resolution. I would use this book to introduce a "travel through time" history lesson. http://www.educationworld.com/a_tsl/archives/05-1/lesson034.shtml 7y
Erica.rivera @tanishaRosa This books seems really interesting ! I love books that go back in time like this one. This looks like something a middle school student would read because of the embarrassing moments. I really would consider reading this book! Very interesting. (edited) 7y
