Imaginative, haunting, and heartwarming-Shanti Hershenson's best book yet!World-renowned author Dillon Hershkop has everything she wants in life, but getting there hasn't been easy. Now thirty years old, she has achieved almost everything she dreamed of as a young girl: A dazzling career, a devoted fan base, and a picture-perfect family-but despite all of this, she is also painstakingly bored.That is why, when Dillon receives the opportunity to become the test subject for a time-traveling experiment hosted by JPL's brand new Center for Experimental Science, she seizes the opportunity to explore La Cañada-and the places she grew up around-without any immediate reservations. In exchange, she can write a brand new memoir both about time travel and the nearly forgotten experiences that shaped her into the talented woman she is today. That is, if she returns.Dillon is soon thrown head-first as an adult spectator into the complicated world of her ten-year-old self-fondly nicknamed Goose-from her love of helicopters, writing, and all things Elton John, to her unreceptive fourth-grade teacher, Ms. Vincent, her sourly judgemental classmates, and the missed opportunities of a fourth-grade writer with a smothered voice.As she observes the childhood she does not entirely remember, she begins to realize that there are reasons for the holes in her memories-things she must not remember, because if she does, it may become impossible to stand back and watch the oil of her bottled-up trauma be poured into a fire from a distance. And if she goes against the direct orders of the laboratory, the effects of tampering with a nearly unknown science may permanently disrupt the fabrics of time, space, and Dillon's existence.From the teenage author of You Won't Know Her Name, Helipads in Heaven is a deep and heartwarming adventure of time travel, childhood ambitions, and at the core, a love letter to unique children and those who dare to dream.
