Summary
When shadow-monsters attack in the cafeteria, eighth grader Penny Preston panics, starts a food fight, and unknowingly creates a trans-dimensional rift. Summoned to the counselor’s office, she expects suspension, but instead discovers that she is misaligned and exists in more than three dimensions. Unless she immediately begins training to learn to handle her powerful abilities, she risks losing her sanity.
She agrees to secretly train with her counselor and his friend Master Poe, an exile from the seventh dimension trapped in a raven’s body, to keep her hometown, Piper Falls, safe from higher-dimensional beings seeking to gain god-like powers in our dimension.
Together with Simon, her telepathic multidimensional cat, Penny struggles to save her relationship with her best friend, protect her universe, and uncover her connection to Arthurian myth.

Not my usual genre
So this is definitely not my usual story or genre but thought I would give it a go because I usually get on well with the narrator.
It took me a few goes to get into the story - I could see that is well developed and the characters were intriguing. I am so sure that it will appeal to people who like this genre.
I was given a free copy by the narrator but the review is entirely my own.

Enjoyable Listen
I enjoyed listening to this book although it's far from my usual genres. The characters are well defined and well narrated by the brilliant Michelle Babb. Not sure I'd read more of the series but this one was seriously appreciated. *****

Nothing Misaligned about this book
This was a very different book to what I usually choose to read but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I know if is aimed at the teen or young adult listen but the story was so well crafted that I think anybody would enjoy it, no matter what there age. I don't claim to be a syfi fan but occasionally I will branch out and try something different, so if like me you can't tell the difference between trans-dimensional rift and time travel don't worry the author has you covered. The book isn't too geeky and with great characters it soon had me hooked. Hey you even get a talking cat, what's not to like? The story was interesting and even held a little mystery to keep you guessing, as to who was helping the baddie. I would try another book by this author.
When Penny witnesses bright lights shining in the cafeteria she is the only one to see it and unwittingly starts a good fight. Fearing her punishment when she is called into her teachers office she is shocked to find him talking to a raven and even more so when it talks back. Penny is one of the few who can exist in more than three dimensions and with someone or something trying to open a portal from there world to hers, she is the only one to stop it. She must train to use her powers but every time she uses them the enemy can sense her and will stop at nothing to find her. Penny needs someone she can trust and chooses her best friend and with the help of an amulet he along with her talking cat guardian must keep her safe. Just like Penny isn't what she seems, so is someone else at the school but just who is helping the higher-dimensional being who wants to become a god? If the Raven know as Master Moe, can figure out who it is they might just have a chance of stopping there plan and saving
Piper Falls.
The narrator was the reason I gave this book a chance because with her as the narrator I knew the story was going to be good. I am glad to say Michelle Babb didn't let me down.

Fun fictional twist on well known myths
Thoroughly enjoyable story. it was a novel take on well known myths that brought them into the modern world. a good part of the fun is spotting all of the links to other well known tales and seeing how they are explained and integrated into the main story. The performance was good and brought a lot of personality to the characters. very well read and made for very easy listening. A good way to relax at the end of the day.

A great story
I was given a free copy of this book and I'm leaving an honest and voluntary review.
I was very impressed with book, I was taken on an adventure through the eyes of a teenager who was misaligned, its very captivating and imaginative. The book is very written and had a good amount of detailing with perfectly suited characters.
The narration is flawless, really giving the story a nice feel.
I would definitely recommend this book.
