This book tackles so many important topics. Topics like time travel, autism, climate change, and just generally being a good person to those around you all told from the perspective of an intelligent young 12 year old Nigerian girl. 5/5

I really enjoyed this! Being autistic, I always love it when main characters are autistic, as our brains work the same and it's refreshing among the thousands of neurotypical characters. And Elle is a great character. She's a sweet, relatable kid who always wants to do the right thing and has a strong sense of what's right and wrong. She gets thrown in the middle of a time-travelling mystery and she handles it better than I would! I also really liked her friendship with Big Ben, another autistic kid. You don't often see that in fiction, autistic characters being friends. Normally the autistic character is the only one in the entire book, but there were a lot of neurodivergent characters in this, which I very much appreciate. The story managed to surprise me as well, and I do hope there will be a sequel to this!

Although I loved the characters and appreciated the neurodiverse cast, I found the plot to be lacking and confusing at points, which hindered my overall enjoyment of the book.

I think I’m just too old to enjoy this book.
