Eight-year-old Odessa never expected to come face-to-face with her grandmother in an eight-year-old body! What happens when Odessa is wished back to 1955 by her Nana? It seems that Nana was tired of telling Odessa about the old times and wanted to show her instead. Odessa wakes up in a southern Maryland farmhouse without air conditioning, television, Internet, or telephone. She develops an understanding for both the fun and the work of living on a farm as she chats with the family about the things that surprise her. A day at school with Nana is very different from her own school in 2014. Instead of bright colors, group participation, computers, and modern conveniences, Odessa confronts racism, bullying, and a very different kind of classroom. She also learns that some things never change. People are people no matter when they live.
