Thanks to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster Children’s for the ARC of this!

Full of future sight, first love, friendship and all the feels, this was so good from start to finish. I absolutely loved Celia and her Grandma’s relationship, as well as her friendships, they added so much to the story, even when the focus was on Celia and Jeffrey. The idea of fate and what seers must witness and what they can change was so interesting, and I loved that they had their magic book full of notes from past family generations. Recommend for fans of magical middle grade like: The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Cattywampus, and , Bayou Magic.

Fabulous middle grade fantasy. The premise is deceivingly simple. A young girl with a prophetic gift sees the death of a boy and saves him over and over again. But, it’s also about friendship and family and first love—all the things middle schoolers are *really* concerned with. And the ending! Ooph. Was not expecting that emotional punch. It’s bittersweet—my very, very favorite kind of ending. Loved this book.
