When Aisa makes a choice that will bruise someone she loves forever, she gets twisted up in the glittering, rainy theatre town of Pestique, where everything is done in a costume and town gossip flies like a storytelling of rooks.
Destined to fulfil her dream of being a famous actor and making the world a better place, Aisa finds herself a home in the most rundown theatre of the Khis district. And it was there that she found fame as the Revenge Artist, helping people release their anger and sadness by pulling pranks on those who had done them wrong. It wasn't until she wanted revenge on her best friend that she started to doubt herself, but by that time the mess she had created had slipped completely out of her control.
Infinite Aisa raises the questions of thinking, of thoughts we are not so proud of, and of general meanness. Where does it come from and why would anyone be mean in the first place? It examines the nature of being hurt and asks the reader about revenge, envy, forgiveness and hurt. Have you ever wanted something that someone else has? Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Why? Have you ever hurt someone you love? Do you forgive yourself easily? How?
The book tells the story of what is happening on the outside and the related music album whispers songs about the truth on the inside, found on all major streaming platforms.
Look out for the Everything-World Blankish Journal, an accompanying storytelling and philosophical activity book where Clare-Rose Trevelyan goes deeper into exploring the questions of THOUGHT woven throughout this story.
Industry Reviews
"Author Clare-Rose Trevelyan infuses a lot of heart, humor, and drama into this absorbing coming-of-age story about a young woman's quest to find her place in the world. Infinite Aisa is about chasing one's dreams and destiny while navigating friendships, family, and the unique challenges of life. The narrative immerses you from start to finish, complimented by some fascinating artwork by Yongho Moon, which makes the characters leap off the pages. Trevelyan's characters feel like people you may have met in the real world who chase their dreams and try to change the world. The dialogue feels realistic and witty. Toward the end, you will find some beautiful song lyrics from Clare-Rose's own musical album to enjoy. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't recommend it highly enough." - 5 Star Readers' Favorite Review by Pikasho Deka
