Into the Sideways World by Ross Welford

 Do you think we can have a world without war?

📍 Well in this book, the author has shown a world without war. This is a world running sideways to our world. Do you want to know, what does the term sideways mean here? Then do read the book.

📍 When two school kids Willa and Manny hear about a mysterious animal wandering in their town, they get determined to find it and prove that the animal is real. 

📍 Following this particular animal into a cave one full moon, the kids get swept into an alternative world. This world is free from pollution, here there is no war. 

📍 When they return from this new world, they try to tell their family about it. Obviously no one believes them. In their world there is a war waiting to happen, how can they believe that there is a world where there is no war, where they have no issue of pollution, where there is no issue of clean energy. 

📍 What will Willa and Manny do now? Can they stop this upcoming war? Would anyone believe their story? 

📍 I liked so many things in this book, the idea of a world without war, the idea of a world which has resolved the issue of clean energy generation, the science behind the ideas. The storyline is quite good, the narration has been done well, the characters are well introduced and described. 

📍 One thing I didn't like is the kids call their mother - mam. The author could have used mom/mother.
