A timely, speculative thought experiment in perspective, privilege, and identity. --Kirkus The conceit behind Shusterman`s latest is truly unique. While it exhibits the author`s usual storytelling aplomb, it also manages to delve into more serious and timely subject matter, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. Despite these heavy topics, the story still moves at a lively pace and, thanks to a zany sci-fi twist, manages to pack in a few laughs as well. --Booklist All it takes is one hit on the football field, and suddenly Ash`s life doesn`t look quite the way he remembers it. Impossible though it seems, he`s been hit into another dimension--and keeps on bouncing through worlds that are almost-but-not-really his own. The changes start small, but they quickly spiral out of control as Ash slides into universes where he has everything he`s ever wanted, universes where society is stuck in the past...universes where he finds himself looking at life through entirely different eyes. And if he isn`t careful, the world he`s learning to see more clearly could blink out of existence... This high-concept novel from the National Book Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author of the Arc of a Scythe series tackles the most urgent themes of our time, making this a must-buy for readers who are starting to ask big questions about their own role in the universe.
