An ambitious and magnetic novel from the New York Times bestselling Neal Shusterman, about a teenage American football player forced into a series of parallel lives.
As a star player on his high school American football team, Ash is used to taking some hard hits. But that one run in his last game must have knocked him a little loose, because suddenly his life doesn’t look quite the way he remembers it.
As Ash bounces into worlds that are almost-but-not-really his own, he starts to question everything, including his own perceptions and place in his own reality. But can he even work out how to get back there?

This is a deeply engrossing, enjoyably philosophical YA book with a lead who starts off wearing blinkers, ignorant to his privilege and the problems faced by those around him, but learns to see from other viewpoints and strives to make a positive change in the world. Very cool concept that keeps the reader frantically turning the page to see what mind-bending plot twist happens next!
