This engaging chapter book follows Harper, a 12-year-old eager for social media, who accidentally uses a filter that catapults her ten years into the future. At 22, she experiences the independence, career success, and "glow up" she always imagined. However, Harper quickly learns that her future self has made different choices and developed in unexpected ways, prompting her to reflect on her present desires and the person she truly wants to become. It's a fun, thought-provoking read for pre-teens navigating identity and the pressures of growing up in a digital world.
Turning 12 1/2 shouldn't be the most exciting birthday in the world. It's a half birthday after all. But Harper is thrilled because she is getting the biggest gift of all: her parent's approval to finally get social media accounts. Except when she goes to post her first photo, there is a filter she has never heard of before. One that shows you what you will look like when you are older. Curious, Harper clicks on it...but ends up flash forwarding in time to when she is 22. She will quickly find that being in her twenties means the freedom she always wanted, money for the glow up she didn't know she needed and working for her idol! But Harper soon discovers a lot more has changed than she expected--including the person she wants to be. Will Harper be able to use the filter to get the life of her dreams? Or will there be more glitches?
