As their senior year approaches, four diverse friends united by their weekly Dungeons and Dragons game struggle to figure out real life. Archie tries to cope with the lingering effects of his parents' divorce, Mari considers an opportunity to contact her biological mother, Dante works up the courage to come out to his friends, and Sam clings to a failing relationship. When the four eventually embark on a cross-country road trip in an attempt to solve one of their problems--and to avoid the others--the journey tests their friendship and they quickly realize that real life is no game. Told in the narrative style of Akira Kurosawa's Rashoman, An Infinite Number Or Parallel Universes is at turns geeky, funny, and lyrical as it tells a story about that time in life when friends need each other to become more than just people that hang out together. AUTHOR: Randy Ribay is a Filipino-American YA author, high school English teacher, and book reviewer and blogger for The Horn Book. He can be found in Camden, NJ walking his dog-children, gaming, or making lightsaber sound effects with his mouth.

"Debut novelist Ribay gives the story a distinctively diverse and nerd-centric cast." --Publishers Weekly

"The stories intertwine into a single narrative in which teens will be invested in all parties equally.... A quiet and meaningful story." --School Library Journal

"Of all the grades, senior year of high school is most fraught with emotion. Randy Ribay, of Camden, has done a terrific job of capturing these emotions in his novel. Ribay takes us inside the lives of four teenagers on a cross-country odyssey and gives equal weight to all. It's one of those trips we don't mind going on because most of us can recall facing that senior year of high school when we knew life was about to change." --The Star Ledger
