Meet accidental time traveller Lily Tripp as she bounces throughout history navigating friendship dramas, first love and family. It's Lottie Brooks meets Back to the Future!

"A laugh-out-loud, brilliantly funny story that took me straight back to my teenage years and my own secret diary. Clever, time-bending, and irresistible. I can't wait to see where Lily goes next" โ€” HANNAH GOLD, author of The Last Bear

Every New Year's Day, Lily Tripp time travels and wakes up in a new century. She's lived in Roman times and the Victorian era and never knows where she'll end up next. Thank goodness her bestie, family and secret crush all time travel with her too... even if they don't know it.

But how will she live in a time before chicken nuggets were invented? Why are her brother's clothes so ridiculous in every era? And how on earth can she cope with being mean girl Georgia's servant?!

"A brilliant debut. Relatable, funny and filled with fascinating facts from the past, time travelling with Lily Tripp was pure joy!" โ€” JEN CARNEY, author of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.
