Author Talk: Time is on Your Side with Melissa Toole

Ages 4 to 9.

Children’s author Melissa Toole reads from her book Time is On Your Side and leads a craft activity.

Imagine the shock of eight year old Emily when she wakes up in the body of an adult. How did this happen? Who is to blame? Is it some sort of curse? Emily figures out that it is Time himself who is to blame. He always changes things too quickly. She decides that her mission is to find Time and stop him. She looks in the sky (because Time flies), she looks for him in the garbage dump (because people waste Time), and she looks for him in the bank (because Time is money). But will she find him in time? Or will she have to stay in the huge body forever?
