The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day

About this book

As in Madeleine LEngles A Wrinkle in Time math and science inform this mind-bending mystery about a girl who must work with the laws of the universe and trust the love of her family if she is to set her world right. Its the morning of Maisies tenth birthday and she cant wait to open her presents. Maisie is not a typical kid. What she wants most for her birthday are the things she needs to build her own nuclear reactor. But she wakes to an empty house and outside the front door is nothing but an unsettling all-consuming blackness--a shifted reality. Even for super-smart Maisie these puzzling circumstances seem out of her control . . . or are they?
