The Many Worlds of Albie Bright (Paperback)

Beautifully pitched, smart and affecting, Edge's novel uses a healthy dose of quantum mechanics to tell the tale of a grief-stricken boy who sends himself through time and space to try and meet his late mother.

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.
