The Ickles®. They're Everywhere! They're Everywhere!

By

Loved it! 😍

This is a thrilling science fiction story that young readers won't want to put down!

The Ickles reside in a parallel dimension to our world. According to an Ickles historical book, our universes have only overlapped once, in the mid-1800s. The well-documented incident occurred in a farmer's field in Ireland. The rift in the fabric of space and time closed up as quickly as it opened, shocking both sides. But now, for a reason unbeknownst to either side of the border, the two worlds can see one another again. This time around, their meet-up is significantly impacting both sides of the invisible wall.


The Ickles call "our world" the land of the giants, and I can't fault them for their name choice. Our house pets are the same size as them. When a bull from our dimension entered theirs, its horns spanned the entire street and knocked down their power lines. Through their eyes, it looked monstrous and behaved accordingly! 


In the "giant" world, our dimension, we were shocked by a sudden miniature town appearing in thin air. Every morsel of food was real. Every aspect of the town was functional, including the vehicles that ran on the same fuel we use. With dollar signs in their eyes, the "giants" didn't waste a moment capitalizing on the discovery. 


The "giants" had theories about who the "little people" were, and the Ickles had theories about the thin veil separating the parallel universes. Each was curious about the other, which led to scenes with action, humor, and danger. 


The Ickles®. They're Everywhere! They're Everywhere!: An Adventure in an Overlapping Parallel Dimension! by A. J. Eccles is a thrilling science fiction story; however, it lacks one component that readers would wish the author added: images. Young readers will want to see the little town surrounded by the train track (Earth realm), the bull smashing its way down the tiny streets, Mac facing off with the "giant" cat, and especially the surprising development in the final chapter. 


If your child loves science fiction stories, I recommend you purchase The Ickles®. They're Everywhere! They're Everywhere!: An Adventure in an Overlapping Parallel Dimension! It's a fantastic read!

About the author

I first turned my hand to writing fictional stories after a career as a copywriter, video producer, and senior global marketing executive. I love writing for strong characters and developing unusual stories with unexpected plot twists. The stories range from comedy to adventure to sci-fi drama. view profile
