Booklist - 05/01/2021 While wandering her new British suburb, 12-year-old Flick happens upon an archaic travel agency, and she senses something unusual about the services it provides—why would a travel agency require a wall of dusty suitcases but no computer? When she sees travelers step out of a suitcase, it’s revealed that the agency provides portals for careful exploration of other worlds in the multiverse. Flick is delightedly drawn into the magic and mystery, but when it becomes apparent that not all is right in the other worlds, she realizes there may be more to her travels than she bargained for. Lapinski’s debut is captivating, particularly in its descriptions of new worlds, and while evoking shades of Doctor Who and His Dark Materials—the exploration of new places beyond imagination or rifts in space, leaking magical dust—this still feels like a wonderful world of its own. Absorbed readers will be relieved that a few loose ends (and piles of unexplored portals) point to sequels. - Copyright 2021 Booklist.
