Odessa Again

Odessa Again by Dana Reinhardt, 196 pages


When Odessa’s parents get a divorce she and her brother Oliver move with to a new house with their mother.  One night, Odessa gets really angry and stomps in the middle of her attic bedroom and finds herself falling into the past, exactly 24 hours earlier.  She is able to change the situation that made her so angry that she was stomping in her bedroom and after the same thing happens again, this time to 23 hours earlier, she knows that it was no accident.  Odessa is able to start using her new power to change things she has done to make her life better but after a few times she realizes that she will probably have limited chances to use it, since each time is one hour less than the last.  If she is careful maybe she can find a way to use the power to help herself and Oliver, break up her father and his new fiancée and get her parents back together.  Any kids who have ever wished they could change the past will probably like this story.
