Who it's for
Every child who has asked 'are we there yet?' will recognise the endless-car-ride feeling, and the book turns that impatience into a wild, page-flipping adventure.

What it is
A boy and his parents are driving to Grandma's birthday party, and the trip feels like an eternity. When his boredom hits 'forever', readers must turn the book upside down and read backward as time itself runs backward, past a Wild West train, pirates, medieval knights, ancient Egypt and dinosaurs.
Where to find it
In print from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers and widely available in libraries.
