Twilight in the Land of Nowhen

Aurealis Award nominee 2006.

In this mind-twisting adventure, Simon truly walks to the beat of a different drummer. Simon lives three seconds ahead of everyone else, which creates embarrassing problems, such as answering questions that haven’t yet been asked and trying to walk through doors that haven’t yet been opened. Hoping to be cured of his strange ailment, Simon meets a Stitcher, whose job is to fix glitches in the universe. The Stitcher helps him understand what’s happening, but even she has no cure. Playing on Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, this inventive story takes young readers on a supernatural journey through the fabric of space-time, while offering valuable lessons in acceptance and understanding.
