Summary: Great as always!
Comment: William Sleator does an incredible job with this book. I first read it when I was in junior high and now, more than a decade later, I still enjoy this book. It starts with Laura finding a note in her locker that is written backwards. At first she thinks it is a joke, but that starts to change as she befriends a boy who has just moved into her neighborhood. And then she discovers his secret-- the ability to travel into the 4th dimension!
After that the book just keeps getting better until the very last line! Sleator's imagination and writing is excellent. I highly recommend this book to all sci-fi fans, regardless of age-- you will not be dissappointed.

Summary: Interesting but confusing
Comment: The Boy Who Reversed Himself, by William Sleator is a science fiction novel about a boy named Omar who has the ability to enter different dimensions. Laura, the narrator, is Omar's neighbor and realizes something is different about his face. After pleading with Omar and pretending to want to be his friend, he admits that his face is reversed. He goes on to explain that he is able to visit different dimensions, and his face was reversed while he was in 4-space. Laura immediately starts to beg him to take her into 4-space, and Omar finally gives in. Laura slowly learns the ways of 4-space and it is when she reluctantly decides to take her crush in with her, that she begins the most dangerous adventure of her life.
I really liked this book because it is a cliffhanger and always keeps you reading. Because the story deals with another dimension that nobody has seen, it is really hard to imagine what is going on in the story. In 4-space there is new directions you can move called Ana and Kata, and everything you look at you see cross sections of it. You have to concentrate really hard to understand what the characters are doing and seeing. Overall I liked this book a lot becaus it really gave a new perspective on life.

Summary: Good for adults too
Comment: This was one of the first science fiction books I ever read, back in elementary school. I loved it then and I still love it, even though it is a children's book. It has a bit of "A Wrinkle in Time" to it, though is less serious in tone. Adults who enjoyed "Flatland" will probably like this book's more humorous take on "higher dimensions".
