Somewhat self-absorbed 16-year-old Anna Green manages to fall for the first time traveler she ever meets, not realizing that he’s a time traveler or that he’s hoping his mission to 1995 will be a short-term affair.
—Jeff Delgado
It’s too easy for me to say the wrong thing today, and if I do, we may never meet at all

- Circa AD 1970 to 1999: Anna’s time, 1995

- Do Over: Bennett may have done several quick do-overs, but the one we know about was his first kiss with Anna.
- Time Barrier: For the most part, Bennett can travel only from the time he was born to the oldest time that he has lived.
- Time Travel Methods
- Innate Time Travelers: Hard to know exactly how Bennett’s powers arose, but they seem like innate magic or mutation.
- Themes
- Butterfly Effect: briefly discussed
- Get Rich Quick through Time Travel: Bennett’s father gets rich on stock market tips that Bennett provides.
- Save “Jimmy”!: Bennett and Anna must save their friends Emma and Justin!
- Save “Lois”!: Bennett must save Anna from the robber!
- Save Your Family!: Bennett must save his sister from being stuck in time!
- Self-Defeating Acts: If Anna’s letter succeeds in getting her to change her “decision” (as it seems it did), then it becomes a self-defeating act, although this aspect of time travel is never discussed.
- Time Travel Sickness, Injuries, and Mixed-Up Body Parts: water and strong coffee seem to help
- Travels into Yourself: If Bennett gets too near his earlier self then he merges, which allows him a do-over.
