Bookroo's summary

Zack's Grandma Leah, on the brink of her 89th birthday, experiences a bizarre transformation after passing through an airport metal detector. Instead of aging, she begins to grow younger with each passing day. As she prepares for a Rockettes reunion at Radio City Music Hall, the clock ticks backward, raising questions about how far this reversal will go and what it means for her future. Can Zack find a way to stop the mysterious de-aging process before it's too late, or will Grandma Leah continue to regress into her past?

From the publisher

A strange trip through a metal detector causes Zack’s eighty-eight year old Grandma Leah to get younger and younger.
