“Shelby & Shauna Kitt and the Dimensional Holes” by P. H. C.
Marchesi is the story of Shelby and Shauna Kitt, thirteen-year-old twins
tasked with saving Earth. When the twins’ mother lost her job, Shauna
and Shelby were thrown out of school, and their mother was attacked by
evil Klodians, aliens bent on killing them; you might say that they had
had a bad day. Then Lendox found them. Lendox was an alien from a
planet called Miriax that orbited Earth in an alternate dimension. He
had been sent to find the twins and recruit them for a dangerous
mission into yet another dimension to close some holes that had allowed
evil aliens to enter Earth’s dimension. Lendox then took them to a top
secret military base to meet other kids that would be coming with
them. But danger lurked at the base. Can Shelby and Shauna stop the
ever present evil before it is too late?
When the twins and their friends Vanessa and Jit arrived on Miriax,
they were stunned by the amazing beauty of the planet. Trees with
emerald green leaves and the transparent walkways were some of the many
wonders they found. The lifestyle of the Mirians was also quite
interesting to them. Tea with exploding mushrooms was a favorite snack.
But not even these utopian features can hide the danger that lurks
nearby. Can Shelby and Shauna protect themselves from the Klodians?
While on Miriax, Shauna and Shelby discovered that they each had
different and special powers. Shauna couldn’t get sick, could heal
people, and could communicate with animals. Shelby was extremely prone
to motion sickness, could pilot vehicles or games having only just
touched the controls, and could manipulate gravity to an extent. With
these new powers the Kitt twins thought that dealing with the Klodians
would be easy. Maybe they can contend with the Klodians, but can they
deal with an enemy closer to home?
I would recommend this book to people who like adventure and fantasy. This fast-paced book has an interesting style that merges science fiction with fantasy. “Shelby & Shauna Kitt and the Dimensional Holes” was very entertaining and I didn’t want to put it down until I finished it.
