The Lost Track of Time by Scholastic Press

The Lost Track of Time is a magical fantasy, an allegorical cautionary tale, a feast of language, a celebration of creativity–this dazzling debut novel is poised to become a story for the ages.

Why we like it: Being over scheduled and lacking time are frequently mentioned concerns for both children and their parents. Paige Britt provides the opportunity for young readers to escape into a fantasy world where time is their own. A brilliant novel by this debut author complemented by drawings by Lee White.
