The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day

LoveReading4Kids Says

April 2018 Book of the Month | In a nutshell: a brief and enthralling time-bending mystery  |  Maisie Day is ten years old and should be celebrating her birthday but something very odd has happened: not only has her family disappeared, but her house seems to be floating in an endless – and encroaching – black void.

It’s hard to comprehend, but Maisie is a science genius, already studying for a degree in physics at the Open University.  At the same time that she works out she’s on the edge of a black hole she makes contact with her teenage sister, Lily, the only person who can help her. In a story that explores really big ideas, Christopher Edge also finds time and space to describe one particular family’s relationships, and their experience of terrible loss.

Mind-boggling and heart-breaking, the story nonetheless finishes in a moment of hope and simple happiness that everyone will understand. ~ Andrea Reece
