udy Blume meets Back to the Future in this hilarious diary of friendship, family, and first crushes set against a fresh and fun timeslip narrative. The first of a three-book series!
Turning 13 on New Year’s Day has a whole new meaning when the clock ticks down to another century. Thank goodness Lily’s cat, best friend, family, and secret crush always turn up in whatever era she lands. But how will she live in a time before chicken nuggets were invented? Why are her brother’s clothes ridiculous in every era? And how will she cope with being a servant in the house of mean girl and arch-nemesis, Georgia?
Funny, fresh and full of heart, Lily Tripp: Diary of an Accidental Time Traveler is an irresistibly exciting middle-grade debut expertly crafted with humor, passion, and the keenest observation of all of those tween feels. Just like The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson or The Dork Diaries, it is sure to be a beloved story for many years to come.
