I love that this book is about an 8th grade girl as it is hard to find books about 14 year olds in today's publishing environment. I also love the premise of this book--a girl's locker is a portal and birds can fly in and out delivering items from the past to the future. Eighth grade girls from years ago have also experienced the incredible time warp of this mysterious locker, and our current 14 year old, Candace, finds women of two older generations who team up to solve the mystery of the locker. Unfortunately, the book is slow paced and the big time warp reveal at the end is barely explored. It also has a great cover, and Sherri Smith is a wonderful author, so I wish this book well, I just wish it packed more of a punch and that it had fully explored the magical world it introduced.
