  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 .

So even if you weren't a fan of P&P like me, you might still like this book! But why does Audrey get transported back in time to the Regency era?

Audrey has had no inspiration to do any art, and has gotten bored working at her family's convenience store every day. Although, one frequent visitor to the store is a mysterious man named Mr. Montgomery. One day, to pay for his newspaper, Mr. Montgomery gives Audrey a quarter. It's a magical quarter that transports he...

She has no new friends yet, and just had a falling out with her two friends, Ashlynn and Kenner, back in Illinois, before moving. Her parents are really busy with their new jobs and taking care of her new baby brother, Owen. So, Marin spends a lot of time on her own. One day, as she is exploring her new neighborhood, she sees a bunch of teenagers hanging out with each other near one specific house. What's unusual about these teens is they seem to disappear and reappear out of thin air, and only Marin seems to notice this strange phenomenon. That is, until she meets a boy, a neighbor, named Charlie, and he reveals he can see them, too.  Unfortunately, Charlie thinks the reason he can see them is because of a dark family secret regarding his father. He thinks the teenagers are actually his father an...
