Her life is shaken up when she is sent to live with her grandparents above their antique shop in Sydney. Things start to get really interesting when she discovers a chair with unexplainable powers. It's hard enough being a fourteen-year-old girl these days, let alone travelling through time to hang out with a great-grandmother who is younger than you, a grandfather who is still in nappies and a mother who turns out to be a teenage grunge-goth. Join Minky as she faces her most challenging but exciting year yet and the start of a rollercoaster ride of time travelling fun.'  (Publication summary)

'Minky travels to 1920 Bowral where she comes to the aid of the world's greatest cricketer. Finding a way to return multiple times to 1956, she'll discover the incredible impact she has had on her Pop's life and experience a tragedy that has kept her family in turmoil for decades.
