The Boy Who Opened the Wrong Door

Eli Vance knows the truth now.

He is not seeing the future.

He is seeing almost worlds-nearby realities where the same people, places, and choices unfold differently.

Now nine years old, Eli has begun secretly training his unusual ability. Using the glow star above his bed, the words "Here first," and the growing Book of Almost, he is learning how to enter the almost worlds intentionally and return home by choice.

But the almost worlds are learning too.

Some doors call his name. Some imitate familiar voices. Others carry every sign of safety while hiding something dangerous behind them.

As Eli reaches farther, he encounters new versions of himself, discovers that thought can cross between realities, and begins to understand the mysterious fifth direction. But when he opens a door that should have remained closed, Eli learns that connection works both ways.

The Boy Who Opened the Wrong Door is Book Two of The Fifth Mind Saga, a psychological science fiction series about alternate realities, identity, family, and the dangerous power of a mind learning to reach beyond its own world.
