Booklist - 08/01/2021 Salerni’s latest middle-grade novel is a mind-bending, multidimensional adventure that also takes a deep dive into geometry and physics. Jadie Martin, 13 years old, has always believed her parents abandoned her as a baby and that she was rescued by creatures from the fourth dimension. Jadie grows up with a loving human family who are also agents for the creatures, taking on assignments that they believe are for the good of Earth. When Jadie finds her birth parents by accident, she begins a quest to uncover the true intentions of these fourth-dimensional creatures and her role in all of it. Writing in multiple points of view, Salerni offers a page-turning adventure tale and adeptly breaks down the math and science elements behind multidimensional theory for middle-grade readers. The book also has heart, touching on the emotional lives of two adopted 13-year-olds and the true meaning of family. The emotional stakes and quirky physics of Salerni’s story will make readers want to visit (or revisit) Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time. - Copyright 2021 Booklist.
