Bookroo's summary

Ava Larsen dreams of Hollywood stardom in 1991, but a time-travel blunder lands her in 1891. Stripped of modern comforts like the Internet and video games, Ava faces a daunting challenge. Can she adapt to a world without technology, or will she find a way back to her own time? As she navigates this unexpected journey, Ava might discover that living in the past holds the key to embracing her future. Will she learn to be present in a world so different from her own?

From the publisher

Ava learns to live without technology when she travels back in time to 1891 in this wacky fifth book in the In Due Time series. When Ava Larsen gets the chance to travel back in time, she knows exactly where she wants to go–back to 1991, when her mom had a chance to move to Hollywood. Ava is sure if she lived in Hollywood, she could be a star! But when the time-traveling Book of Memories sends her back to 1891 instead, it’s less of a dream and more of a nightmare. No Internet, no texting, and how will she ever survive without her video games and reality TV shows? Ava is not the type of girl to “rough it”–she needs to get back to the present, and fast! But maybe a little time in this distant past is exactly what Ava needs to learn to be more present in the future…
