The Power of Un Review

  Fun fact: this was actually a book I read waaay back in elementary school, but I couldn't remember a lot of it. So this review is actually a reread. Now with the story fresh in my mind! The Power of Un by Nancy Etchemendy is about Gib, who learns that little decisions can affect your life in big ways. One day before going to a local carnival that he and his friend Ash planned to go to, he gets a weird gift from a mysterious old man called the unner. It has the power to undo any mistake he makes by going back in time either by seconds, or minutes, or hours. Gib ends up using the unner to undo a really huge, life-changing mistake.  This book had a great balance of humor and seriousness! I am so glad i decided to reread it. I gave it 4 stars .
