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.

So Albie finds a box, his mum's computer and a rotting banana, and sends himself through time and space to find her.

Reviews

Sofia - Minster School - 2017

It was really, really sad. Also it was sad when he realises his Mum is actually always going to be dead! It was soulful.

Freya - Minster School - 2017

I thoroughly enjoyed this book because of the heart of the main character Albie. With his great passion to find his Mum, he uses her old computer, a mouldy banana and a cardboard box to travel from one world to another, trying to find her, but faces challenges along the way.

Asher - Minster School - 2017

I thought that it was an OK plot, albeit a bit confusing with quantum computers and bananas... I'm not even going to try to explain it! I thought it was a great book with a fantastic (and emotionally crippling) ending. I particularly liked Alba (a parallel universe version of Albie), as I thought her character was great!

Liza - Minster School - 2017

I enjoyed the book because the obscurity of the events, and how a banana, box and a computer could help you to time travel! My favourite character was Alba as she was so positive despite her disability.

Kate - Minster School - 2017

I really enjoyed this book and it is quite sad but happy at the same time. I like it when Albie goes into all the different versions of his life.

Elena - Minster School - 2017

I really enjoyed this book, which was sad yet happy too. It was hard to put the book down, I couldn't put it away, I was up till 10.30pm one night trying to finish it!
