🏆 WINNER – 2025 Imadjinn Award for Best Middle Grade Novel

Some friendships are so powerful, they bend space, time, and the rules of childhood itself.

Kendra Cassidy has spent centuries shaping the future—but there's one story she's never told. Until now.

Quantum Quirks is her sideways autobiography, a warm and sharply funny look back at the chaotic brilliance of her first friendship with Aiyana, the kid with the toolbox, the blueprint obsession, and an unshakable belief that anything is possible with duct tape and a good plan.

Together, in the Northern Imperium of the 2080s, they build impossible machines, dodge sparkly government agents, and figure out the strange mechanics of being small people in a big, broken world.

Perfect for middle grade readers and up, this is a story about friendship, found family, and the kind of wild summer where everything changes—even if you're only seven.

Full of STEM-fueled mischief, emotional honesty, and future-forward heart, Quantum Quirks is for readers who grew up on A Wrinkle in Time, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and Green Glass House—and for parents looking for stories that respect kids' smarts and their hearts.
