Judy Olson | 4 comments Book was read in the 1960's.
Reading level: children's chapter or MG

The defining characteristic of the story is that a child discovers that he/she can turn their body at a certain angle and enter a parallel or alternate universe. I can't remember if you needed to go to a particular spot and turn, or whether you could just do it wherever you happened to be.
Genre: Sci-fi
Format: Dead tree

Judy Olson | 4 comments Thank you Sue, this might be it, although neither the title nor the author sound familiar. The reviews suggest that this book had a profound influence on readers at a certain age, which makes me think this might be it. Thanks again!
