'Runaway Skyscraper' Summary
Arthur Chamberlain's life takes an unexpected turn when his office building in Manhattan disappears into the fourth dimension. The building's absence not only throws Arthur's career into chaos but also alters the fabric of reality, transforming Madison Square into a peculiar land of wigwams. Arthur, with his scientific mind, embarks on a quest to understand the mysteries of the fourth dimension, the strange beings he encounters, and the impact it has on the city. With the help of his intelligent and charming secretary, Estelle, Arthur faces challenges and uncovers clues, determined to bring his building, and the disrupted timeline, back to the familiar present. As he delves deeper into the secrets of this alternate dimension, Arthur must overcome obstacles and make choices that could determine the fate of both his building and the city.Book Details
