Overview
NASA has assured everyone the passage of rogue planet Malachite will be safe, but Crosby's been getting other messages-from a fortune teller and Malachite truther message boards. And now she believes that Malachite will kill everyone who doesn't ascend to the fourth dimension-a higher plane that transcends physicality. She tries to prepare her friends and family to leave their bodies behind and raise their frequency by changing their diets, wearing the right crystals, and moving into her friend's bunker before it's too late. But no one is listening. The more time she spends trying to talk her roommate and her quirky friends into her apocalypse plans, the more Crosby is forced to face the cracks in everything she believes to be true. This novel in verse explores the danger and humanity of conspiracy in a post-truth world through empathy, friendship, and forgiveness.

"""Cue The Twilight Zone music: this novel in verse is offbeat and then some [...] Feinstein's unusual, well-written, and richly imagined novel will be catnip to speculative apocalypse fans and to all those who enjoy something different."" --Booklist ""Heartrending [...] Feinstein incisively reflects on friendship and change while illustrating misinformation's allure and aftermath via first-person-present verse poems by turns snarky and soulful."" --Publishers Weekly ""An ultimately hopeful swirl of prognostication, conspiracy theory, and angst."" --Kirkus Reviews ""A gripping, vivid story of dangerous conspiracy pitted against hopeful friendship that made me want to simultaneously devour and savor the book."" --Jessica Kara, author of Don't Ask If I'm Okay"
Rita Feinstein's Meet Me in the Fourth Dimension is a gripping, vivid story of dangerous conspiracy pitted against hopeful friendship that made me want to simultaneously devour and savor the book. Crosby's journey spins the reader through a visceral tapestry of imagery and emotion that had me speeding up to see what happened next, and slowing down to reread each beautiful page until the powerful, healing climax that left me cheering and teary-eyed--and ready to read it all over again. --Jessica Kara, author of A Furry Faux Paw and Don't Ask If I'm Okay
