Albie’s mother has died, and he wants to know where she has gone. As the child of two scientists, he looks to science for the answer. Using quantum physics, he travels through time to find a parallel universe where his mother is still alive.
Using science to find the answers to the big questions, rather than religion, is a refreshing choice by Edge.
This is a bitter/sweet story of a boy who fiercely misses his mother and only wants to see her one more time. We ache for him and his father.
Highly recommended to readers from Year 6 onward.
