A smart and funny modern day 13 Going on 30 from New York Times bestselling author Jen Calonita! A tween girl finds out it is like to be 22 when she jumps in time with the help of a mysterious TikTok filter. The perfect gift for readers who want to feel 22 like Taylor Swift's iconic song!
Turning 12 1/2 shouldn't be the most exciting birthday in the world. It's a half birthday after all. But Harper is thrilled because she is getting the biggest gift of all: her parent's approval to finally get social media accounts. 
 
Except when she goes to post her first photo, there is a filter she has never heard of before. One that shows you what you will look like when you are older. Curious, Harper clicks on it...but ends up flash forwarding in time to when she is 22. 
 
She will quickly find that being in her twenties means the freedom she always wanted, money for the glow up she didn't know she needed and working for her idol! But Harper soon discovers a lot more has changed than she expected—including the person she wants to be. Will Harper be able to use the filter to get the life of her dreams? Or will there be more glitches?

      On her half birthday, 12-year-old Harper's ready to grow up, but maybe it's better not to rush things. Harper wants to launch a dog-walking business with BFF Ava and start posting on social media. Although her parents won't agree to Harper's business plan, they let her start posting. Harper happily uploads a makeup tutorial featuring Taylor Swift's "22"--and it's a TikTok hit. She and Ava are invited to queen bee Celia's birthday party. Ava is skeptical, but Harper, initially thrilled, is crushed when she learns from members of Celia's clique that she was only included because her mom did Celia's mom a favor. Despite her burgeoning online popularity and Celia's envy of her success, Harper feels humiliated about the party and wishes she were already 22, just like in Taylor's song. With the help of a photo filter, her wish comes true: She jumps ahead a decade and is now the successful marketing director for her social media influencer idol's cosmetics company. But her relationships are a mess, she's in a business partnership with manipulative Celia, and she's earned the nickname Hellish Harper. Harper wants to fix things and asks herself, WWTD: What would Taylor do? Can she go back in time for a redo? While the themes in this tween drama are familiar, Harper's giddy narration bounces along, admirably expressing her hope and determination. Most main characters read White; Ava is Mexican American. Irresistible fun. (Science fiction. 8-12)
