CHARACTERS
Get to know Clementine, Andro, and the friends (and foes!) Clem meets along the way. Even though Clem’s story is only beginning, the unexpected bonds she forms will stay with her forever.
Raveen
Raveen is, well, awesome. Or, at least, she thinks so. She lives in a tree house high in the forests of Ra’ani Oh’nana with her mom, her dad, Akylas, and her terror of a brother, Falk. Her favorite things…
Kiwi
Kiwi is a Wingless who loves life! She especially loves the forest, talking, and adventures (which she never gets to go on!) She lives in a cool, woven, stilt house in Whaka’wai with her dad, Emos.
Andro Ilham
Andro is tired. Always tired. He’s been working in the fields since he was seven years old to make enough Coin to feed his family. Andro lives in a one-room apartment with his granny and little sister, Zari…
Clementine Lemons
Clementine is a space cadet. Most days, she can barely make it out of her house with matching socks on her feet. She lives in her late grandmother’s creaky old Victorian house in Victoria, BC, with…
WHICH DIMENSION SHOULD YOU VISIT?!
Dohi? Pangier? Canada? Take the quize to find out!
COMING SOON! COMING SOON!
LOCATIONS
From Clem’s boring life in Victoria to the smog-choked streets of Dohi and the primordial forests of Pangier, step into the many worlds of Clementine Lemons—if you dare to unlock their mysteries.
Pangian Forest
PANGIAN FOREST Pangier is a dimension where the supercontinent of Pangaea never broke apart. The primordial Pangean forests are home to many species of trees, most of which are the size of...
Wheku Whak’ani
WHEKU WHAK'ANI Weku Whak'ani sits on the Fringe of the great Mutina’kol’e Swamp, a large inland body of water at the base of the foothills of the Central Pangian Range of mountains. The town of...
Victoria
Clementine lives in Victoria, BC, a coastal city on Vancouver Island. She takes piano lessons at 23 ½ Fan Tan Alley, the narrowest street in Canada! The Compendium of Curiosities is nearby, on…
Dohi
DOHI Dohi is complicated. A beautiful country, lost in time, very few people have the opportunity to experience it as it could be. In ancient times, when the Emerald Peacock still ruled Dohi, it was...

ARE ALTERNATE DIMENSIONS POSSIBLE?!
Is it possible there’s a version on Earth where the supercontinent of Pangaea never broke apart, and people evolved to have wings? Or maybe there’s a parallel universe where the Hindenburg never caught fire and airship travel led us in a different technological direction (a little “The Wind Stone” foreshadowing!) While alternate dimensions and interdimensional travel make excellent science fiction, some physicists believe they could theoretically exist.
The Multiverse Theory suggests our universe—with all its planets, stars, and galaxies—may be just one of an infinite number of universes. While some of these Universes may have evolved similarly to ours, others may have completely different laws of physics and even different particles, making them unlike anything we could imagine (Live Science, 2021).
In the 1950s, quantum theorist Hugh Everett III developed the Many-Worlds Interpretation, which posits that every time you make a choice—like whether or not you answer a message asking for help—a new universe splits off where you chose the other (Scientific American, 2008). If that’s true, there might be a universe where Clem never answered Andro’s message!
Even if alternate universes don’t exist, there may be dimensions we can’t see! According to the mind-blowing String Theory, everything is made out of tiny strings whose vibrations produce what we interpret as atoms, electrons, and all the other particles that make up our universe. String theory assumes that our universe has more than three dimensions of space (length, width, and height) and one of time. Some versions of string theory predict there could be 9, 10, or even 25 dimensions, but they’re curled up so tiny that we can’t detect them (New Scientist, n.d.). Physicists are trying to find proof of these extra dimensions by using machines like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland, which they hope might reveal tiny particles that hint at their existence.
While there isn’t solid evidence yet, the idea of alternate dimensions isn’t just fiction—it’s a scientific mystery that could change how we understand the universe!
FUN FACT: The Copendium of Curiousities address, 101016 Pandora Avenue, is a nod to the astronomically large number 10^10^16, which physicists Andrei Linde and Vitaly Vanchurin calculated to be the total number of all possible unique universes before repetition occurs (Phys.org). While Pandora is an actual avenue in Victoria, the address is also a metaphor for Clementine opening the box on the infinite possibilities associated with interdimensional travel.
