James' parents are splitting up. He wishes he could go back in time to when things were better....or were they? Is he remembering the past with rose coloured glasses? His new friend Yan is an eccentric girl with no friends like him, who hides out in the Library and invents a time machine. James travels back to what he thought were the good old days...but he sees that his Mum is much happier now despite living in a tiny apartment, and he must make a decision. Stay in the past ( and never meet Yan) where his parents are unhappy but together or living in the now with Yan and happy, divorced parents. Nice book for kids who are going through separations.

James wishes he could go back in time. Back to when his mum and dad were together, when he had one home, when his family laughed and climbed hills and went to the movies. After meeting the enigmatic Yan, a girl who looks at the world differently, James discovers time travel might not be impossible after all. But if James can live forever in one of his six favourite memories, which one will he choose? 'One part time travel, two parts cake and a whole lot of nostalgia . . . it's impossible not to love this book.' REECE CARTER, author of A Girl Called Corpse 'This smart, lively, retro-cool book about looking back, falling forward and changing your own story will leave you smiling.' FIONA HARDY, CBCA Notable author of How to Make a Movie in 12 Days 'A sweet story about love and loss, with a twist that will hit you hard.' OLIVER PHOMMAVANH, CBCA Notable author of What About Thao? In a place where retro Australian Woman's Weekly birthday cakes, old Commodore computers, chaotic rideshare vehicles of the future and spacemen all collide, Countdown to Yesterday is a contemporary novel touched with philosophical and science fiction ideas for young readers.
