Description

When Ted refuses to cheat on a history test with his friends and receives a poor grade, he receives a mysterious text offering him a chance to relive the same day. He accepts the do-over and this time decides to cheat, earning a better score on the test. The book follows Ted as he discovers whether cheating ultimately helps or hurts him.

Quick Summary

With a mysterious second chance to redo a disastrous day, this story grabs readers by asking one question: would you make the same choice if you knew exactly how it would end? Kids will root for Ted as he experiments with the strange rules of reliving the same day, discovering that changing one moment creates bigger ripples than he imagined, and the twist at the end will leave them buzzing. If your kid loves mind-bending stories like "The Giver" or enjoys tough choices in "The Hunger Games," they'll be hooked on this smaller-scale but equally gripping tale. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 8 who enjoy quick, thought-provoking reads with a touch of mystery.
