Realia

by Ulric Alvin Watts

Overview

Graeme Pendlebury is a genius. Or at least his fellow fifth graders think so, and he's in no rush to correct them. He dreams of enrolling at MIT and becoming a physicist. . .Until he goes there and finds a pencil case, with his name on it, full of diamonds. This leads to increasingly bizarre events that signify a looming crisis with stakes greater than Graeme could have possibly imagined. . .

Realia is a middle-grade soft science fiction/coming-of-age novella.

"If Isaac Asimov had contributed to a science fiction version of the famous Goosebumps YA book series, the results might have looked a bit like this—and that is no small compliment. . .This is well-mannered, restrained, and satisfying SF for all ages that celebrates the intellect and does not concede to trendy cynicism or dystopian themes." — Kirkus Reviews
