A companion to Bigger Than a Bread Box, this is a story of friendship and family that poses real questions about time travel.

In this companion to Laurel Snyder's Bigger than a Bread Box, a leap back in time and an unlikely friendship change the future of one family forever.

Annie wants to meet her grandmother.
Molly wishes she had a friend.
A little magic brings them together in an almost-impossible friendship.

When Annie wakes up on her first morning at the Hotel Calvert, she's in for a big surprise. There's a girl named Molly in her bed who insists the year is 1937 and that this is her room! Annie's not sure what happened, but when she learns that Molly's never been outside the hotel, she knows it's time for an adventure. Magic, fortune-telling, some roller skates, a rescued kitten, and the best kind of friendship make up the unforgettable story of two girls destined to change each other's lives.

"Like Judy Blume before her, Laurel Snyder writes characters that feel like your best friend." -Anne Ursu, author of The Real Boy

Industry Reviews

"Time travel is the least of the magic in the sublime Seven Stories Up, which gently and lovingly demonstrates how the right friend at the right time can heal a heart and even change a life. Like Judy Blume before her, Laurel Snyder writes characters that feel like your best friend. I wish I'd had this book when I was a kid; I would have read it a hundred times and slept with it under my pillow." --Anne Ursu, author of The Real Boy

"Friendship, connection, and understanding are at the heart of this warm, introspective story about the events that shape a person." --Publishers Weekly

"The perfectly paced time-travel conundrum is well balanced within the larger plot, and the entire book is imbued with the same sort of forward-driving adventure as Rebecca Stead's When You Reach Me (2009) or Laurel Snyder's Bigger Than a Bread Box (2011, both Random). A wide variety of readers will find this book wonderfully satisfying and hard to put down." --SLJ

"Snyder infuses her novel with a touch of magical realism (and, of course, time travel), and many readers will wonder what the grown-ups in their lives were like as kids. Filled with historical facts that weave seamlessly with the narrative, this is a heartwarming story about knowing, and truly understanding, your family." --Booklist
