Who doesn’t like to escape to another world when reading a book? In this particular post, we’re taking a look at nine books that actually place you in another world, a parallel one to be exact. According to Wikipedia, “a parallel universe or alternative reality is a hypothetical or fictional self-contained separate reality coexisting with one’s own.”
A separate reality is exactly what you’ll get when you pick up one of the books below!
If you have additional suggestions (and we know there are many), we’d love for you to share them with us in the comments.
Undercurrent by Paul Blackwell
Sixteen-year-old Callum Harris never wanted to move to Crystal Falls. Neither did Cole, his brawny and fearless older brother. With the recent separation of their parents, the brothers have had quite enough change of late.
But the move turns out to be only the first of many changes in Callum's life. After he plunges headlong over the falls, he wakes up in the hospital to find that life is no longer what it once was: his squabbling parents appear to have reconciled; his brother, an unrepentant jock and serial dater, is paralyzed and bed-ridden in a makeshift hospital room at home; and even Callum himself, always studious and unpopular, is now the object of desire for the two hottest girls in school.
A blisteringly paced novel full of thrills, twists, and surprises, Undercurrent unfolds with possibilities that are both gripping and unsettling.
