Books like The lost track of time by Paige Britt
Penelope lives in a world of charts, appointments, and consistent routines dictated by her mother. One day, a slip in her meticulous calendar creates a portal to the Realm of Possibility—a place where every possibility is locked in a fixed track of time. Recognizing that this odd world mirrors the rigidity of her own life, Penelope realizes she is the only one who can break the cycle and set both realms free. Along the way, she learns the powerful lesson that imagination, self‑discovery, and the bonds between mother and daughter can reshape even the most stubborn moments.
