Description

With the assist of a Q&A addendum on “The Science Behind The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day,” this inventive British import will challenge middle-grade sci-fi readers and family-story enthusiasts alike.”— The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books Next chapter shows us her day starting normal, her parents getting ready for her birthday and preparing food, the gazebo outside and interacting as they usually do. Trapped in an ever-shifting reality, Maisie will have to rely on the laws of the universe and the love of her family to save her. And even that might not be enough… A heartbreaking, head-melting science fiction mystery from the superlative Christopher Edge.”— The Guardian I think this book is my favourite book by Christopher Edge, because it seemed very puzzling at first, but then gradually the reader got to understand what was going on in both lives of Maisie Day. Maisie Day was my favourite character, because she is as kind as she is smart and even though she thought her big sister Lily hated her, she managed to cope with her and they were both happy with each other, and also, Maisie's cleverness helped her work out what everything was when she felt confused and alone. I like Lily too (but not as much as Maisie) because at the start of the book she is SO moody with Maisie, but then as you read more, her feelings towards Maisie change (and she actually starts crying a lot about her little sister!). I think that Maisie and Lily work well together as a team and I am glad that they started becoming more like themselves before Lily turned into a teenager. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes science (because you can learn a lot about that from Maisie), computing (because of what happens at the end) or anyone who just likes a puzzle.

As in Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, math and science inform this mind-bending mystery about a girl who must work with the laws of the universe and trust the love of her family if she is to set her world right. There is a lot of talk about the importance of ‘high-concept’ ideas in children’s books and The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day is about as high-concept as it gets. Our heroine, Maisie, is trapped in an ever-shifting reality where infinite darkness is slowly wiping away everything she knows. To survive she must master her fear and use her knowledge of the laws of the universe to make sense of this mind-bending mystery. A mind-bending mystery for anyone who's ever asked questions. From the author of The Many Worlds of Albie Bright and The Jamie Drake Equation. Cover illustration by Matt Saunders. About This Edition ISBN: Different story and quite creative book I'll say. light and good read. a bit of humor was also present which i liked. ☺️ the book could be a good movie for kids no doubt. 💕As in Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time, math and science inform this mind-bending mystery about a girl who must work with the laws of the universe and trust the love of her family if she is to set her world right. Gripping, terrifying and eye-poppingly original. Grabs hold of your brain—then tugs at your heart.”—Jonathan Stroud, author of the bestselling Bartimaeus Trilogy The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day is a heartbreaking, head-melting science fiction mystery from the superlative Christopher Edge The Guardian I like that in each book (at least this and The Longest Night of Charlie Noon that I read so far from him) Christopher is teaching us about life stuff, like time and space and science and the universe through the eyes of a child.

No one writes books like Christopher Edge, and this is another fascinating, tender, and excellent adventure.
