Description

A book with a big brain, big laughs and a big, big heart. – Frank Cottrell-Boyce

An extraordinary novel for anyone who s ever been curious.

When Albie s mum dies, it s natural he should wonder where she s gone. His parents are both scientists and they usually have all the answers. Dad mutters something about Albie s mum being alive and with them in a parallel universe. So Albie finds a box, his mum s computer and a rotting banana, and sends himself through time and space to find her…

Christopher Edge s warm hearted writing sucks you in from the start with a sparkling take on parallel worlds, fuelled by a delightfully fresh understanding of quantum physics and a fearless ability to take on life, loss and dreaming big while never talking down to his readers. Bananas will never be the same again. I have one complaint about this book. I wanted it to be longer. Samira Ahmed
