Review
An excellent read which explores the issues that face families, as well as exploring an age without today’s technology. Highly recommended. –parentsintouch.co.uk
Judi Curtin has been described as the Irish Jacqueline Wilson and it s easy to see why: she writes warm, convincing contemporary stories about girls, friendships and families. Here best friends Molly and Beth are awkwardly trying to adjust to their new shared life (their respective mum and dad have moved in together) when something very strange happens and they find themselves transported back in time to 1984 … told with Curtin s typical insight and lightness of touch. Beth and Molly are real characters, the strength of their friendship is utterly convincing, and this is a touching, uplifting read, often very funny too. Definitely one to recommend to fans of┬áJacqueline Wilson –Lovereading4kids.co.uk
Judi Curtin s best book yet…. Both entertaining and emotional, Time After Time has heart and is sure to be a winner with Judi Curtin s many fans. Just remember to have tissues at the ready as time after time (ha!) this book will make you well up –thebookstheartandme
