When things aren’t going well in Callie’s life, she takes a
break one day by skipping out on school.
Going to one of her favorite NYC museums, she meets a boy and they
strike up a conversation of sorts. When
skipping school becomes easier than dealing with the drama, the whole week
becomes one without school. This gives
Callie time to notice that her grandmother is acting strangely also. What is it about 1986 that is so compelling
to her? This may be one of the missing
clues to help her family heal once and for all.
I was so hoping that this was going to be a time travel
adventure, but it was not. While
Callie’s family problems and her interactions with her new museum friend are
typical of realistic tween girl genre, there is not enough emotional connection
to help me fall in love with it.
