“A book about a time-traveling app? I’m in! Jen Calonita strikes
again with a coming-of-age middle grade full of wit and a little bit
of magic. “ —Sarah Mlynowski, New York Times bestselling author
of the Whatever After and Upside Down Magic series "A brilliant
friendship story that champions kindness, resilience and the courage
to challenge long held expectations - both of others and of
yourself." --Lauren Myracle, co-author of the New York Times
best-selling Upside-Down Magic series You can retake your photos...but
what if could redo moments in your life too? With one magical app, Zoe
is able to do just that! A smart and funny twist on time travel from
New York Times bestselling author Jen Calonita, for fans for Disney's
Zapped and The Swap. Zoe knows that the only thing harder than
middle school is losing a best friend. She and Laura used to do
everything together from taking silly selfies, to joining all the same
clubs together and even throwing surprise birthday parties for one
another. But lately things have been weird between them. Now Laura
will post a photo of her hanging out with other girls before
responding to Zoe's simple text. She doesn't even want to sit with her
at lunch anymore. Zoe is heartbroken--all she wants is for things to
go back to normal. But then a magical app downloads on her phone...and
things get even weirder! Suddenly Zoe can travel back in time to
moments where her and Laura started drifting apart. It is like a dream
come true. A chance for Zoe to mend their friendship. But as Zoe goes
back to moments of middle school drama--sleepover games gone wrong,
field trips with cliques and crushes, and school projects that bring
on more-than-awkward encounters--she realizes that second chances
don't always go as planned and that sometimes you need to trust the
magic of new beginnings. The Retake is a picture-perfect look at tween
friendship, that also explores more serious themes of social media
pressure, bullying and what it means to be yourself. "Jen Calonita
puts a magical spin on all-to-real middle school drama. Warm, witty
and wise, The Retakeis for anyone who has broken up with a best
friend and wished they could go back to the way it used to
be."—Megan McCaferty, author of True to Your Selfie and Jessica
Darling’s It List series "As addictive as your favorite app, you
won't be able to put it down." - Stacy McAnulty, the author
of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl
