Six months ago, evil interdimensional aliens called the Old Ones kidnapped Nikola's father (A Problematic Paradox). Now Nikola has settled into her new life at the Plaskington International Laboratory School of Scientific Research and Technological Advancement, alongside parahuman classmates and fellow uber-intelligent humans. Sappingfield balances the heavy stuff with plenty of humor, dishing up inventive sci-fi fare with a whopping side of silliness

Before evil interdimensional creatures who have abducted Nikola's father can also snatch her, she's whisked off to take courses at the Plaskington International Laboratory School of Scientific Research and Technological Advancement...until the Old Ones surface again. Sappingfield excels at world-building, keeps action popping, and takes playful potshots at the sci-fi and fantasy genres. This funny, imaginative, and outlandish novel is also a heartfelt tale of navigating friendships.
