This Again?

This chapter book introduces readers to Noah, a seventh grader who discovers the ability to time travel. His initial goal is to prevent a disastrous day and, more ambitiously, to ensure his future self wins the eighth-grade class election. The narrative blends realistic school challenges with a fantastical element, offering a lighthearted exploration of cause and effect and the desire to control one's destiny.
