Meet Bibsy Cross, the precocious, regular-pegular eight-year-old who isn’t so sure she wants to capture her childhood in a time capsule in the fourth installment of this charming chapter book series. Most things are easy-peasy, regular-pegular for Bibsy Cross. She loves her parents, her cat, her best friend, Natia. She loves school and the library. And she loves a good school project. But this time, each student is tasked with creating a time capsule, and Bibsy’s not so sure she wants to trap the present in a box. She needs her childhood now, not preserved for the future. When Nanaberry comes–not just for a visit, but for good–she helps Bibsy see the project in a new light. Will Bibsy figure out how to preserve her memories without letting them go?
