school is the worst, especially for David Bravo. He doesn't have a
single class with his best (okay, only) friend, Antoine. He has to
give a class presentation about his heritage, but he's not sure
how--or even if--he wants to explain to his new classmates that
he's adopted. After he injures Antoine in an accident at
cross-country practice, he just wishes he could do it all over. He
doesn't expect his wish to summon a talking, shapeshifting,
annoying dog, Fea, who claims that a choice in David's past
actually did put him on the wrong timeline... and she can take him
back to fix it. But when their first try (and the second, and the
third) is a total disaster, David and Fea are left scrambling
through timeline after timeline--on a quest that may lead them to
answers in the most unexpected places. Coco meets Sliding Doors in
this laugh-out-loud, heartwarming middle grade novel that explores
how our choices make us who we are.
