Odessa is a likeable character with her sibling rivalry. Into the mix is the big divorce and remarriage of her dad. Faced with huge situations like this, Odessa needs powerful magic. Just what her attic can store, but like an hour glass the magic ticks away. Like Cinderella on clock.
Melding reality with fantasy as in this Time-travel is a tight rope walking, which the author finished with the pole of good writing. I couldnt buy the magic of fixing things over, too huge a leap of faith. That said, the book deals with an important transformation of accepting rocky boat situations having tried all recourses. The illustrations are no fuss and unpredictable.
I was a Latchkey kid too but me and my sister stayed at a boarding school as kids.
