The Universe Between by Alan E. Nourse
4.0
A sentimental favorite from my childhood. The story concerns the discovery of another dimension, another universe right next door to ours. It's mind-bending stuff, especially for a grade schooler.
Update: I just re-read this book to my eleven-year-old daughter. I was delighted to find it holds up well. She found the story intriguing, just as I did when I read it at approximately the same age. It was my first full-length science-fiction novel, and now it is hers as well.
Most of this book was written in the early 1950s. When I first read this book, in the late 70s, the events were still in the future. Something funny happened since then, however: now it's all set in the past, but it's a past that didn't happen.
At least, not in this universe.
