Descripción: "A fun, imaginative, you-never-know-what’s-going-to-happen-next high school adventure.”― Kim Bongiorno, New York Times best-selling co-author, I Just Want To Pee Alone Carson High School seniors Scott and Davey don’t have much common ground―that is, until all universes begin collapsing into their school. Soon, the avowed loner and the mean-girl cheerleader realize that something is very wrong, and they’re the only two who are aware of what’s happening. Demon versions of their teachers roam the halls, a cowboy sloth appears sporadically, and some students randomly burst into flames, while angry interdimensional counterparts of other students destroy everything in sight. Now it’s up to two seniors from opposite sides of the social spectrum to defeat this scourge and save not only their high school but also the world. Armed with little more than school supplies and Scott’s trusty copy of The NEW Multiverse Theory, can these unlikely heroes put their differences aside and stop the total chaos? If they can’t, the end of the world may just be beginning. From School Library Journal Gr 10 Up—Nerdy Scott and cheerleader Davey do not have much in common. That is, until alternate universes begin collapsing into their school. At first, they are sure they are losing their minds, but then they realize that they are both seeing the same thing—and they are the only two who can. Can Scott's library copy of The Multiverse Theory and their physics teacher help save them? Spiders with six-foot-long bodies, steampunk girl fans with mechanical jaws that unhinge, and a brontosaurus in a lavender pantsuit and a fancy hat are just a few of the things that they observe in their school. Davey is not about to lose the chance to become homecoming queen because of all this inconvenience. Scott is more interested in staying alive, but eventually the two of them realize that they must resolve their differences in order to bring the universe back together. The mature language and sexual situations make this title more appropriate for older teens. This is an entertaining science fiction comedy for fans of Andrew Smith's Grasshopper Jungle or Scott Westerfeld's steampunk "Leviathan" series. VERDICT A good general purchase for those looking to beef up their sci-fi shelves.—Deanna McDaniel, Genoa Middle School, OH Review "A fun, imaginative, you-never-know-what’s-going-to-happen-next high school adventure.”― Kim Bongiorno, New York Times best-selling co-author, I Just Want To Pee Alone "For fans of the classic science fiction and comedy genres ― Practical Applications is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets Red Dwarf." ― Anthony Bowling, The Devil Is a Part-Timer! and Attack on Titan "I started laughing on the second paragraph, and enjoyed the ride all the way to the end.
