Time After Time by Judi Curtin

Time After Time by Judi Curtin

Molly and Beth are best friends but they aren't too happy when their families move in together. But when the two are accidently transported back to the past, they have a chance to see the world through their parents eyes ...

real friendship, where they both have ups and downs and always stick together

-- Junior Reviewer Kathryn O’Mahony, Mallow * Evening Echo *

beautifully told, Time After Time is humourous, nostalgic and engaging

-- Inis Magazine

Judi Curtin has been described as the Irish Jacqueline Wilson and it’s easy to see why: she writes warm, convincing contemporary stories about girls, friendships and familiesHere best friends Molly and Beth are awkwardly trying to adjust to their new shared life (their respective mum and dad have moved in together) when something very strange happens and they find themselves transported back in time to 1984 … told with Curtin’s typical insight and lightness of touch. Beth and Molly are real characters, the strength of their friendship is utterly convincing, and this is a touching, uplifting read, often very funny too. Definitely one to recommend to fans of Jacqueline Wilson

time travel tale from Ireland’s answer to Jacqueline Wilson set in the 80’s. Nostalgia for older folk and possibly quite unbelievable for the younger folk

a compelling friendship tale

-- Irish Independent

Curtin exudes a wonderful skill for mixing humour and emotion, and it’s hard not to fall in love with this gem

-- Sunday World

as expected, this is a splendid read from Curtin … Curtin navigates brilliantly between emotion and fun, so that we never lose sight of the girls’ sense of adventure … surely merits a sequel

Judi Curtin writes sensitive, hugely engaging novels about contemporary girls and the things that matter most to them: friends, family relationships, learning to be happy with who you are…As readers will understand, visiting the 1980s will have its plusses and minuses for 21st century kids: you can buy packets of biscuits for 20p but have to survive without mobile phones. There are lots of details older readers will relish: the shop that sells the biscuits has comics Mandy and Bunty on its shelves too; the girls are baffled – and amused – by the hairstyles and fashions … Emotions reach a very high point as the two reach Beth’s mum’s home, and Curtin describes the tension beautifully…This is time travel that puts female relationships – mother/daughter, best friends – into the spotlight, in a book that is funny, sad and uplifting. It reminds us all too that the teenagers our mums were are only ever a splash of (Smitty) perfume away.

expect lots of laughs and lots of tears

-- Belfast Telegraph

An excellent read which explores the issues that face families, as well as exploring an age without today's technology. Highly recommended.
