(Changing my rating, the more I think about this, the more it annoys me)
I had a lot of issues with this book, I was kind disappointed.
I'll be posting a review on my blog closer to the release date of April 5th.
Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for giving me this advanced copy to review.

emjrasmussen's review against another edition
I adored this one! Such a cute, fun, smart middle grade with a delightful protagonist--and no romance! I was a little bit put-off by how easy it was for Charlotte to create a new life in 2013 after she time-travels (no one seemed to really care where she came from? Not the social services workers? Not even her foster parents, who, on all other accounts, are very caring and involved?) and I wished we got more information about how this book's take on time travel actually works (although I understand why we didn't). But overall, this was a joy to read, and it will give you plenty to think about. I love Leila Sales.

I was expecting a historical novel. What I discovered was science fiction, history, mystery, and a moving story of friendship.

A MG time travel novel where things don't end perfectly or terribly! Be still my heart.
Really, this was a great read. Fresh and pleasant, with the bits nicely woven together.

Loved this book! Wonderful fuse of modern day fiction and historical fiction. Great themes of friendship run across the decades.

Thank you to Raincoast Publishing for sending me this ARC novel is exchange for an honest review.
This book is targeted towards children in grade school, about ages 9-13. It is not about a sappy romance, but instead about friendship and the hardships that some come across.
Starting with the cover art, it represents the subject of the book perfectly. The two girls on the cover, Lottie and Kitty, are presented in the time periods in which they are trapped. The decades that are shown in the lettering help the children picture where and when the girls are.
The story that the book tells is a touching story of a friendship, even if it is long distance and through a different decade. The thought of time travel was always proved as being a myth, but not in this book. Time travel can be true, you just have to know how and when to find the time portal. This story is beautifully told through the perspective of Charlotte, aka Lottie, as she travels from the past to the future without her best friend. Lottie has to learn to adopt to the ways of the future yet find a way back to her time. The way this story is described is perfect for children in grade school as the words are not to difficult to understand. The book is the perfect length and the story develops throughout the pages.
Overall, I very much enjoyed reading this book. It was different from most of the books I read, which is nice to try something different. I highly recommend children to read this book, especially if they enjoy sci-fi and the theory of time travel.
Be sure to check out this book when it come out in March 2016!

Does the person who wrote this even LIKE time travel? I feel so disappointed.
