Description
Eighth grader Penny Preston is worse than suspended. She's misaligned: that means she exists in more than three dimensions at once, which gives her the power to fix and prevent dimensional rifts. She must embrace her special powers when dangerous higher-dimensional beings threaten to invade Piper Falls.
When Shadow-monsters attack in the cafeteria, eighth-grader Penny Preston panics, starts a food fight and unknowingly creates a trans-dimensional rift. Summoned to the counselor’s office, she expects suspension, but instead discovers that she is misaligned: that means she exists in more than three dimensions at once. Unless she immediately begins training to learn to handle her powerful abilities, she risks losing her sanity. She agrees to secretly train with her counselor and his friend Master Poe, an exile from the seventh dimension trapped in a raven’s body, to keep her home town, Piper Falls, safe from higher-dimensional beings seeking to gain god-like powers in our dimension.
Together with Simon, her telepathic multi-dimensional cat, Penny struggles to save her relationship with her best friend, protect her universe, and uncover her connection to Arthurian myth.

This book caught my attention on Netgalley because of its synopsis. It mentions different dimensions and that was the hook for me. I quite enjoy books with this kind of premise. I have a bit of an expectation going into the book.
Our main character Penny is a Misaligned. This term is still vague for me, it's not some talent, more on you were born with it. Being Misaligned enable someone to see beings that aren't from your dimension. This is Penny's adventure as she explore this skill of hers together with friends and some unlikely mentors.
The start wasn't that promising for me, what with the info-dump-ish way of world building. I thought it would be a miss for me. But fortunately, the story and the characters were able to capture my interest and made me unable to put down the book. It was quite a ride and I enjoyed majority of the book. I think if you could push through 30% of the book, you will understand what I'm saying, lol.😅
This book has a very atmospheric tone to it. It felt like this one will be a good Halloween read. It has bits of mythology, archeology and crime solving on it but it did not overwhelm the main plot. The writing is easy to get into.
Recommended for fans of middle grade fantasy.❤👍
P.S. There's a cute and loyal cat named Simon.🐱
