A review by emjrasmussen
Once Was a Time by Leila Sales

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.
