With the help of her best friend, Charlie, and his grandpa Josh, Margaret jumps back in time to stop the chain of events that turned Lucas Biggs into the corrupt and jaded man who sentenced her dad.

Margaret is running out of chances before she will be pushed back to the present, where her father is doomed, and where, without Judge Biggs's help, Margaret will lose her father forever."--from back cover.
