13yo adoptee Jadie Martin acts as an agent for the "Seers", überintelligent beings from the 4th dimension. She uses the 4th dimension as a short-cut to travel anywhere on Earth, performing "course corrections" calculated to guide the world toward a brighter future. But on a seemingly mundane course correction, Jadie discovers her birth family has been the target of interdimensional harassment for over a decade, and begins to unravel the disturbing realities of the 4th dimension. Jadie must find new meaning in her dimensional abilities, uncover the secrets of the Seers, and learn what these all-powerful four-dimensional beings do to a rebellious human girl when they realize she’s interfering with their plans.
With refreshingly diverse blended family representation, a thoughtful examination behind adoptee trauma, and grand ideas filled with middle school relevant math and science, this science fiction adventure was a delightful read. While the techno-speak can be quite heavy at times, an inquisitive mind that favors math and science will easily pick up the missing pieces and enjoy this thought-provoking book about how our choices influence ourselves, those around us, and the universe as a whole. I’d recommend this to middle school readers, but upper elementary students may find it enjoyable as well.
