Strange Places - Paperback

by Jefferson Smith (Author)

"Holy crap! This book freaking powns!" That's what fans are saying about Jefferson Smith's debut fantasy novel. Spunky and irreverent, 13-year-old Tayna is every villain's worst nightmare: an uncooperative victim who refuses to play by his rules. After living her entire life in a cruel orphanage, Tayna discovers that she may never have actually been an orphan in the first place and flees from nunnish captivity to search for her real family. But time is running out and she has two entire worlds to search: one filled with shopping malls and televisions, and another filled with Brownies, Djin and magic!

Author Biography

Inventor of worlds, founder of religions, crusher of hopes and dreams, rescuer of small children. It's all in a day's work for a fantasy novelist. Despite a lifetime of dabbling in serious things like technology (a PhD in computer science and creativity theory) and Hollywood animation, my first passion has always been writing. If I was allowed to write my own reviews, the words "irreverent," "thought-provoking," and "funny" would get used a lot. But don't trust me on that. After all, I tell lies for a living.
