Undoing Of Arlo Knott, The

Description: What if your life had an 'undo' button? Arlo Knott discovers he can rewind time - just by a minute or two - enough to undo any mistake, say the right thing or impress his friends with his uncanny predictions... But second chances aren't all they're cracked up to be. As wonderful as his new life is, a mistake in Arlo's traumatic childhood still haunts him and the temptation to undo, undo and keep undoing could be too much to resist. Mainstream crossover fiction for fans of Matt Haig, Gail Honeyman and Rowan Coleman, from the author of EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. Review: Child's second novel, following the successful Everything About You, combines compassion and a fascinating premise to produce a moving time-slip romance . . .
