Who can keep track?). Meanwhile, Charlotte's beloved older sibling, Eli, came home after college graduation for just ten days before moving out, into their own apartment, starting their grownup life. And Charlotte's parents are too busy with work this summer to notice how unhappy their 111\/2-year-old daughter is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen an elderly neighbor, Maud Whiton, befriends Charlotte one lonely afternoon, things start looking up. Charlotte and Maud have long talks on Maud's front porch, and Maud hires her to walk her dog, Murry, whom Charlotte has loved from afar all her life (the two are exactly the same age-\"old for a dog,\" Charlotte thinks, \"but young for a human\"). Charlotte finds herself spending more and more time with Murry and Maud, and one day Maud gives Charlotte a wristwatch she's had since she was Charlotte's age. Suddenly the summer takes a turn: the watch her new friend has given her turns out to have the power to take Charlotte hurtling through time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut not just \u003cem\u003eanywhere\u003c\/em\u003e in time.

And when Maud and Murry mysteriously disappear, it's thanks to the magic of her travels in time-and the \"ordinary\" real-world magic of friendship and family-that Charlotte is able to rescue them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookspace Columbus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51201693155575,"sku":"ALLTHTMNTHWRLD","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0435\/6299\/1768\/files\/AlltheTimeintheWorld.jpg?v=1790100040","url":"https:\/\/bookspacecolumbus.com\/products\/all-the-time-in-the-world-michelle-herman-kathryn-dorrian","provider":"Bookspace Columbus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
