Curiosity Quills is excited to reveal the cover for G. Miki Hayden‘s middle-grade fantasy, STRINGS, which is due for release June 2nd, 2014.
About Strings:
In Strings, Robert, an ordinary boy, finds
himself in a newly chaotic world. Buildings move when and where they
please, and time jumps around according to no known laws of physics. For
Robert, getting to his regular school in the morning is impossible, and
as for getting home… But Holden, a boy he and his friend Nila meet in a
cave, offers them a string. No, not twine—a string of the kind that
forms the universe. Teeny and tiny, and invisible to the naked eye, this
string will take Robert and Mila to their homes and way beyond, to
other dimensions. Robert doesn’t intend to save the world or to do anything except get
by as best he can. Yet despite his hope to remain uninvolved, those he
meets and where he goes draw him to participate. Robert’s companions on
the journey through the multiverses include: the boy genius, Holden, who
will defeat the alien Flatlanders at all costs; Nila, the girl next
door, who doesn’t live next door just yet; Mr. Marvin, the clueless
physics teacher, who considers the discrepancies they encounter to have a
logical explanation; and Alfred Einstein (no, not Albert), more a
nemesis than a companion, who still spends a lot of time traveling with
the others. Hop on board an elusive string and see what the higher
dimensions have to offer.
G. Miki Hayden, strongly believes in alternate universes and has written about them in her adult novels Pacific Empire (which won a New York Times rave) and New Pacific.
“Nothing in time-space is fixed,” Miki says, a distant look in her
eyes. Miki won an Edgar for an historical crime story and has a couple
of writing books in print. At the moment, she generally lives with
millions of other people in New York City in a three-dimensional,
temporal world but is exploring other realms.
