While reading this book, I kept thinking, "This would make a pretty good cartoon." Then at the end, there was a short author's note about how they had tried to sell this at a kid's show, but no studio wanted to even look at it. Which is a shame, because I probably would have watched a show like this as a kid.

Interworld is the story that probably every single one of us wrote at some point in our childhoods. What if there are alternate dimensions? And what if there is an alternate Me in each one?

In this book, it was a boy named Joey. And his alternate versions of himself are fighting against evil forces that want to control the entire altiverse.

What really blew my mind was that even though there were an infinite number of earths, each version of Joey had a joe-like name. Jo, Josef, J/O, Jay, Jai, etc. There were no versions of earth where his parents said, "Let's name him Mike. Doesn't he look like a Mike?" Blows my mind!

It was an enjoyable book, but would have made a much better cartoon.
