Synopsis

A 31st-century boy and a 21st-century girl team up to save the universe, evade an evil race of bog mutants, and make a quick pit stop to visit the moon in Dimension Why. John Cusick’s middle grade debut will transport you to a vast fantasy world full of absurd humor that will keep you gasping all the way to the twist ending.Lola Ray was a normal 21st-century girl until a poorly timed sneeze in an X-ray machine flung her a thousand years into the future. To get back home, she’ll have to team up with Phineas T. Fogg, a 31st-century boy whose only friend up until now has been his talking teddy bear and whose overprotective parents have never let him leave his high-tech apartment. Together, Lola and Phin will have to cross the galaxy, brave a mysterious invitation to tea, and escape a race of all-powerful interdimensional beings who are convinced that Lola knows the answer to the universe’s biggest question . . . the question of The End.

Goofy, But Exceptionally Clever, Fun In my experience a can of baked beans on the cover signifies a fart humor book. Rest assured that that is not the case here.

Goodreads review by Jules on October 19, 2020

If you’ve ever gotten a chuckle from a Douglas Adams book, or wanted to pass on his quirky humor and irreverent observations on life, the universe, and everything to your kids, this is the story for you. “Dimension Why” is an adventurous romp through space and time via what’s clearly a deep and abid......more

Goodreads review by Meghan on January 05, 2021

I really needed this silly book to end 2020 on a fun note! I read it alone and now I'm reading it with my 8 yr old who is already laughing frequently. The plot is easy to follow for the age group intended, but also complex enough to get their imaginative juices flowing. The writing is wonderful and......more
