In this inventive romantic thriller, Del has the power to navigate between alternate realitiesβand the power to save multiple worlds.
Every time someone makes a choice, a new, parallel world is spun off the existing one. Eating breakfast or skipping it, turning left instead of right, sneaking out instead of staying in bedβall of these choices create alternate universes in which echo selves take the roads not traveled. Del knows this because sheβs a Walker, someone who can navigate between the worlds, and whose job is to keep the dimensions in harmony.
But Delβs decisions have consequences too. Even though sheβs forbidden from Walking after a training session goes horribly wrong, she secretly starts to investigate other dissonant worlds. Sheβs particularly intrigued by the echo versions of Simon Lane, a guy who wonβt give her the time of day in the main world, but whose alternate selves are uniquely interested. But falling for Simon draws Del closer to a truth that the Council of Walkers is trying to hideβa secret that threatens the fate of the entire multiverse.
βOβRourke brilliantly builds an intricate and complex alternate science-fiction universe that contains beautiful imagery and visualization. A definite page-turner.β βSchool Library Journal
