After the d
evastating and sudden death of her father, Marguerite and one of her closest friends, Theo, race through multiple dimensions after the supposed killer. They utilize the strange device Marguerite’s parents invented, which is called the Firebird. This device allows one to travel through many different dimensions that are in existence. You can only travel through the dimensions when you are wearing the device around your neck, and only after it has been activated. These dimensions can be almost exactly the same as your home dimension or completely different and extremely dangerous. Here’s the catch — the Firebird hasn’t really been used before, so no one knows what could happen when you jump from one universe to the next.
Originally, I was captivated by this book because of its amazing description and beautiful cover. While reading it, I found myself getting lost in the fascinating characters and plot. I really enjoyed following the characters in their multiple life or death adventures. Some of the nail-biting moments in the plot made me not able to put it down! Since finishing the book, it has become one of my all-time favorites.
The different descriptions of the alternate universes and the well developed characters in this book really make it an interesting, fast-paced, unforgettable, and fun read.

ABOUT … Adrienne, Teen Librarian & Digital Media Lab Librarian at Libbie Mill Library.
Hi, I’m Adrienne, and I’ve been a Teen Librarian at HCPL since 2006. I started at Twin Hickory and moved to Libbie Mill in 2015. Come visit our Teen Room and check out all we have for you -- books, great study and hanging out space, free computers, free classes in 3D design & printing, Coding, Photoshop and soooo much more!
Random stuff about me:
* Favorite book: Hmmmm, this is hard, since it changes all the time as I read new stuff and depending on what mood I’m in. However, there is one book that I know will still make me snort with laughter even when I’m 80 years old — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
* Favorite food: perfectly made toast
* Favorite band/music: Cake. I will never get enough Cake.
* Favorite reference question: Q: How long does it take the galaxy to rotate once? A: It’s called a galactic or cosmic year and it takes about 225-250 million earth years.
* Pets: I have two cats and a dog. Marcus and Grey are the cats who were rescued from a box in the woods when they were just little puffballs. When they are not acting insane, they are very sweet and purr loudly. My dog is named Peter and he's a medium size poodle mix (we call him the substandard poodle). He's got floppy ears, snores and loves green beans.
