Description
All fourteen-year-old Andromache Peters wants is a normal life. But normal is pretty near impossible when your parents were famous adventurers who saved the world and nobody will let you forget it.
On top of this, Andromache's father has been missing and presumed dead since she was only two, and her mother has retreated into grief ever since. So it's no surprise that the last thing Andromache needs is to be reminded of where she came from.
But when a mysterious stranger reveals that Andromache's father is not only still alive but trapped in a parallel world, Andromache is thrown into a daring journey across other universes to find and save the father she never knew.
A journey so strange and dangerous that it will forever transform Andromache's life to anything but normal.
Review
When Andromache is expelled from school she knows that she will never live up to her world-saving parents.
But when Andromache's questioning nature brings her to the place that her Dad disappeared twelve years earlier - in an explosion thought to have killed him - she realises that there is more going on. She gains the help of science nerd Rylee and together they break into the laboratory and discover a device that allows you to travel into parallel dimensions!
Tobias has been apprenticed by the scientist, and he helps them to work the device so they can travel to other worlds in search of Andromache’s Dad, as she is certain that he is trapped in another dimension.
And so begings their amazing adventures into wonderful worlds. One where dinosaurs lived, and one where Ancient Egypt thrived and now rules a technologically advanced world. But could they travel to the one place where her Dad went, that is, if he is even really still alive?
This is an action-packed adventure that lets us visit some amazing parallel places in Andromache’s search for her Dad. I am sure that this ending sets it up for a sequel, which will be eagerly awaited. An ideal read for lower secondary students.
