Have you ever lost a loved one?
Would you do ANYTHING to see them again?
Even travel the infinite possibilities of the multiverse?
Then catch up with Ian Wilder as he faces The Ghost of the Wicked Crow!
All his life, Ian Wilder's heart belonged to one person-his next-door neighbor and bestie, Penelope Archer. To him, they match like the last two puzzle pieces across a jigsaw universe.
But tragedy strikes and Ian cracks when a strange substitute teacher reveals a truth to him-infinite realities exist across a multiverse. Weirder yet, he needs Ian's help to prevent another tragedy in an alternate world filled with blood-thirsty pirates.
Can Ian solve his emotional problems with the multiverse at his fingertips? Or will he only fracture his mind and family even further?
Why readers can't stop turning pages:
- A Love That Transcends Reality: Seventeen-year-old Ian Wilder and his best friend-girlfriend Penelope are soul mates. Like matched pieces across a jigsaw universe, their bond is both comfort and catalyst, anchoring readers to heart tugging authenticity.
- Trauma, Imagination & Escape: After tragedy fractures Ian's world, he retreats inward, grappling with his new world-until a mysterious substitute teacher pulls him into a multiverse of infinite possibilities. It's a raw, honest teen story wrapped in cosmic adventure.
- High Stakes Multiversal Quest: From his suburban neighborhood and swashbuckling pirate seas, Ian's rebellious leap into alternate realities is as wild as it is unpredictable. The fantastic pirate world he and Penelope imagined is down-right real and deadly once thrust into it.
- Mind-Bending Science Fantasy: Think Treasure Island meets Everything, Everywhere All at Once-a genre mash up blending psychological depth with interdimensional thrill, perfect for YA readers craving emotional resonance and creative world building.
Perfect for fans who crave:
- A tight, emotional narrative that hooks from page one.
- Sweet YA romance woven through surreal sci fi.
- Complex characters wrestling with real pain.
