From Booklist Sixteen-year-old Sasha Lawson can’t believe her good fortune: überpopular Grant Davis has asked her to the prom. But her ecstasy is short-lived when she finds herself transported to Aurora, Earth’s parallel universe, by Grant’s analog Thomas to impersonate Princess Juliana. Although Juliana is betrothed to Prince Callum in order to ensure a peaceful union between warring countries Aurora and Farnham, she has disappeared, leaving the treaty in jeopardy. Sasha, Juliana’s analog, must convince the country and her betrothed that she is the real princess—or risk her own safe return to Earth. The first title in the Many Worlds trilogy is a fascinating premise made more so by Jarzab’s use of parallel universe theories of physics. Sasha is spirited into Aurora through the tandem, a force field that moves one analog into another universe. Strange but plausible science weds old-fashioned legends of princesses trapped in towers, along with contemporary teen concerns. It’s a great mix, and fortunately, Jarzab leaves readers with the enticing and reassuring promise, “Not the end; only the beginning.” Grades 8-12. --Frances Bradburn

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A delightful read! By Evie Seo Parallel universes, star-crossed lovers, drama, intrigue and treachery - these are just some of the things you'll find in Anna Jarzab's latest YA novel, Tandem. I really enjoyed reading Tandem. It's a well-written, captivating and very entertaining story that will appeal to fans of science fiction and fantasy alike. Personally, I think that even though the premise of it is strictly sci fi (travel between parallel realities), overall the book has a more fantasy (even fairytale) feel to it. At the same time, there's enough scientific trivia to keep all science geeks intrigued. Anna Jarzab managed to strike just the perfect balance between these two worlds - science and fantasy - and create something that is just as intellectually stimulating, as it is charming and visually pleasing. It's not a very fast-paced book, and some readers will inevitably find it too slow for their taste. That doesn't mean that there is no action - trust me, Tandem has plenty of it to offer. It's just that - and that's not a bad thing at all - Anna Jarzab takes time setting the atmosphere, building the world, and weaving in backgrounds. And she does all those subtle things that result in an intricate, complex and completely mesmerizing world. You can't help but fall in love with it. Both lead characters are interesting, their stories - engaging. I liked Thomas a lot, he made for a great love interest, and he was also a very good friend and bodyguard. Ambitious, dedicated, passionate, hard-working and reliable - he was always there for Sasha, ready to sacrifice his own life to protect her.There's this one passage describing/comparing Sasha and Juliana that I really love."If people were houses, Juliana was like the Citadel she'd grown up in - beautiful and well-appointed, but guarded and set apart - while Sasha was her grandfather's Hyde Park Victorian - cheerful and bright, with the windows and doors flung wide open."I think this is very spot-on. That's exactly how I perceived these two. Sasha, always curious and excited to learn new things, inviting adventures and welcoming challenges. She's a very positive person. Even as a little girl, she always dreamt of big adventures and experiences that would make her stronger and better as a person. Juliana, on the other hand, is very withdrawn and distant, distrustful and cold. A girl with a steel wall around her heart. These two, even though they're each other's analogs, are like night and day. The only thing I could possibly complain about is the lack of insight into Juliana's character. I really wanted to learn more about her and try to understand the motivations behind her actions and decisions, but all we really know about her is that she was unhappy with her life and wanted freedom to make her own decisions, which eventually pushed her to do what she did. Inevitably, that made her come across as a bit spoiled and extremely self-centred - and maybe that was the idea - but I felt like there was more to her character than we got to discover. I hope we'll see her in the next book, and that we'll get to explore her psyche a bit more. The ending was toe-curling. I won't lie, I was left dumb-founded. I couldn't believe what happened! Anna Jarzab finished the first novel in her Many-Worlds Trilogy with a huge bang, and I am now dying to read the next book!
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Wake Up and You Really Are A PRINCESS! By The Book Runner This was a clean YA read that reminded me of Across the Universe by Beth Revis and The Selection by Kiera Cass. The literature that was quoted and best corresponds to the books themes are: Alice in Wonderland, A Wrinkle in Time, Twelfth Night, The Odyssey. I have read alternate universe books before: by Bryan Davis's Beyond the Reflection's Edge (Echoes from the Edge) Series and Gretchen McNeil's book 3:59, so the trend must have changed from dystopias (Hunger Games Types) to Many-Worlds.Sasha Lawson lives in Chicago and has had a crush on Grant Davis since elementary school. Her parents died when she was eight and she lives with her grandfather who is a professor of Physics. When Grant unexpectedly asks her to the prom, she is baffled, yet thrilled and has a wonderful time with him until he takes her to be alone on a beach and she wakes up in a different universe."There was a part of me that yearned to be plucked out of my everyday life and thrust into some great adventure. My favorite heroine were girls who suddenly found themselves having to live by their wits in a world they didn't quite understand." Well, her wish was granted!It turns out that Grant isn't really the Grant she grew up with, but an analog of him named Thomas Meyhew. "An analog is a type of double. We all have them; if not in one universe, then in another and in an infinite number of others besides. Analogs should not touch or one of them is ejected from the universe they both stood in. They are essentially equal, but not identical".Sasha has been stolen from earth to take the place of her analog, a missing princess of Aurora, for the next six days. She was brought through a "Tandem: a veil that exists between two worlds, a barrier that was supposedly impermeable", but the science of many-worlds has discovered it and Thomas, under the orders of the General, has brought Sasha through to play this role.I enjoyed this story and starting romance with its themes of connection and identity. You can see the similarities of the changed identities of Twelfth Night, the adventure and people of The Odyssey and the feelings of Alice falling down the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland. But imagining the love of adventure and living it become two very different things when you also feel you have lost WHO you are along with WHERE you are.I liked enough to want to read the sequel called Tether which comes out in the summer of 2014 and to pass it on to my 15 year old daughter who LOVED it.Some non-descriptive kissing and very little profanity (2gd's, 1 sh**t, some damns)Would I/Did I buy it? Yes,Would I read it again? MaybeWould I recommend it to friends? Yes

Strong Beginning, SLOW Middle, Fantastic Ending By The Three Woods This is not the first writer to pen several different "mirror" worlds so the storyline isn't new. However, it was still a very good read even if it did drag a little in the middle. Sasha is your typical teenage girl who is trying to get by life in high school with as little notice (and thus no drama) as possible. She's already lost her parents in a tragic accident and is living with her scientific grandfather who loves to tell her fantastical stories of parallel universes. Life is pretty much what she wants it to be save for one small unrequited crush. When Grant, the popular boy from high school (whom she's had a crush on), invites her to the prom she is flabbergasted but excitedly consents to be his date for the evening. Her dream date turns into a real life nightmare when he confesses he is not who she thinks he is. In fact, he isn't from her world at all - he's really named Thomas and is an elite guard/special agent from his world. I felt Sasha's hopelessness and frustration as she quickly finds that the impostor is telling the truth and "she isn't in Kansas anymore." When it is revealed that she must replace the runaway Princess Juliana (whom we meet up with earlier in the book and gradually disdain) and marry the enemy Prince Callum, Sasha responds the way any red-blooded American teenage girl would when faced with a similar situation. In the meantime, Princess Juliana (who really shouldn't exist in any world as a princess) is determined to abandon her people to the horrors of war rather than become the sacrificial bride to bring peace and harmony to her land. She's willing to do anything to keep from meeting her fate ...even if it involves sacrificing the life of another. Teen romance does abound in the pages for more than a few characters. The love triangle was a tricky one for me. For once, I found myself completely indecisive on who should become THE couple. The author spun the love story in such a way as to almost let you feel the emotions of the parties involved and thus show how hard it can be sometimes to realize whom your heart truly loves. The love triangle will keep you reading through the most sludgy part of the book. Stick with it, though, when you want to put the book down halfway through. You really want to keep reading until the very end. Trust me, it is entirely worth it. I will warn you that the book ends on a cliffhanger that had me screaming "NNOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" so if you hate waiting to know what happens next, I suggest you hold off reading this first book until after the second .... and maybe third ... comes out. So why three stars? With a really strong, excellent beginning and a fantastic end I would rate it five stars easy ... but that slow excruciating middle takes two stars away.
