Description

The Time Shifter follows Amelia and Charlie, two middle-grade friends who find themselves trapped in a time loop and must relive the same day repeatedly. As they cycle through the day, they gather clues that inch them closer to uncovering a mysterious alien visitor, but each iteration also raises the stakes and deepens the danger they face. The story is the fifth book in a series and is written for a reading level of 5.6.

Quick Summary

Imagine being stuck in the same 24 hours while a sneaky alien visitor lurks in the shadows, and each repeat gives you a new clue. Kids will love watching Amelia and Charlie outsmart the alien with clever tricks, witty banter, and a growing sense of urgency as the loop resets. If your kid likes the puzzle-driven chaos of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and the alien intrigue of The Last Kids on Earth, they'll love this. Perfect for ages 9-12 or grades 4-8, especially readers who enjoy mystery, time-bending plots, and a dash of alien comedy.
