  <default_description>When Laura finds her homework in her locker with its writing reversed, she's baffled, until she learns an unbelievable secret: her weird neighbor, Omar, has the ability to travel to the fourth dimension. Laura forces him to take her there--and then, a novice in four-space, she goes there on her own. There's only one problem--she doesn't know how to get back.  A cerebral science-fiction thriller, cunningly constructed to keep the reader involved until the last pages. --The Horn Book </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[All of William Sleator's books are good science fiction for young people, even though most of them take overdone subjects for yet another ride.
