    Jacobus Rose's life isn't perfect and he sometimes feels that he was born into the wrong world. One day Jacobus and his best friend Connor stumble upon a strange house with only a very big switch and a lightbulb on a chain that doesn't seem to be connected to any power. The both decide to flip the switch to see what will happen. Jacobus learns that he has unwillingly become a traveler in alternate realities of his life. Jacobus gathers some new friends and fellow travelers along the way and together they must discover and flip switches in other strange multiverses in an attempt to return home.

    The switch takes you on an expedition through parallel universes. I enjoyed this novel and the unique realities in which the travelers explored while learning more about themselves and the true meaning of home.

Appealing for all age groups!

At 45, I am definitely not the target audience for a YA book, however, I have to say I was gripped from the Prologue.  

The style of writing is such that the book would engage any age group and the premise considers questions that we all grapple with, regardless of our experience or maturity.  

I loved the cover, the layout, the balance between description and speech, the compelling storyline; all of which were reminiscent of reading the Unraveling series by Elizabeth Norris, although the stories are not the same.

As a language teacher, I know how few students these days love to read, but I can guarantee with some certainty that any student of any ability would find this book absolutely fascinating.
