Description
2024 The Times Children's Book of the Year
‘Strikingly original…A sensational book…The final, emotional twist is like a kick in the solar plexus…but in a good way’—The Guardian
On the day Cato came into the world, her mother left it. Cato's dad has been a mere shadow of a person ever since, and Cato has given up reaching out to him. When she finds a mysterious card from an abandoned movie theatre and discovers it has reopened, Cato decides to go take a look. There appears to be something strange about the cinema. The movies showing there are no ordinary movies and somehow the cinema seems to be in connection with the past...
Looking for adventure and the truth about her mother, Cato is swept into a dangerous journey through time and memories, straight to a place deep within her heart. A place she had always managed to keep locked away. And then she faces a choice that will change her life, and that of her father, forever.

Cate’s mum died giving birth so she lives with her dad, who barely speaks to her. When she meets an old lady at a run down cinema who shows people how to time travel, Cate has the opportunity to go back in time.
This is a lovely story about grief, loss and finding out who you are. I loved the relationship between Cate and Tubs and found Mrs Kano an interesting character. One of the difficulties of time travel books is maintaining the ‘rules’ throughout, but this book does it well.
I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this story, but it intrigued me.
It is about love, loss, memories and looking at things from unexpected perspectives.
I read it in one sitting and will be recommending it to everyone.
I would also like to commend the translator, as this did not read / feel like some translations can. It was smooth and just right.
