The Many Worlds of Albie Bright
by Christopher Edge
After his mother dies, Albie uses her physics to build a machine from a laptop and a banana, hoping to reach a universe where she is still alive.
A story about children and families, thoughtful and moving in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
