Books like InterWorld by Neil Gaiman
Joey Harker is an ordinary boy—so ordinary that he often loses his way inside his own house. One day, his missteps take him beyond the borders of his world into a sprawling multiverse where every alternate version of himself exists.
In this new realm, Joey encounters vast armies of magic and science, each intent on harnessing his unique ability to cross dimensions for their own ends. Faced with the horrors of these forces, he joins a formidable cohort: all the Joeys from countless other worlds, united to defend the fabric of reality.
Co-written by master storyteller Neil Gaiman and Emmy‑Award‑winning science‑fiction writer Michael Reaves, "InterWorld" blends fantasy, science fiction, and a battle of good versus evil into an adventure that explores the very nature of identity and destiny.
