Wil's life changed forever the day his father's car flew off an embankment, but when his best childhood friend, Opal, lost her mother in practically the same way it only went from bad to worse. Now it's four years later and Wil's mother has vanished, her bedroom mysteriously transformed into a place from another time. Wil and Opal must go back in time to stop a ruthless organization from erasing their families, but the past holds a conflict bigger than either of them had imagined. For Wil, it would all be stressful enough if he didn't have a painful crush on Opal, but then nobody said turning fourteen was going to be easy.
'Wil Cicada's Backward Burn' is a time travel adventure for upper elementary and middle school kids about restoring family and friendships in the midst of cataclysmic events.
