This is a great MG sci fi / fantasy series to start, especially for MG readers who may struggle with the complex world building of Harry Potter or Nevermoor. The perspective shifts between all three siblings, so there's a good balance of female v. male POV. I wish we had gotten more from Kate or Ms. Morales, but since the book mostly revolves around the kids' journey, I understand why we didn't.
Recommend for readers who enjoy alternate worlds theory, traveling between dimensions, deciphering code, etc. It would also make a great family read aloud.
TW for parent death, parent missing, divorce, and some general mentions of domestic violence.
