Boy, did Narrow Brain freak me out when I was seven or eight.

That's fair! I think he's objectively freaky!

(note: she did NOT like the book at all)

Wow, no, she did not. That is all right. We do not have all-congruent tastes in fiction.

I would have been interested to see that last one, if it was ever revised to be a coherent novel rather than a time-slippy draft that needed a better poem. It sounds like an expansion of the short story "Jewels from the Moon," featuring Miss Bronwen the time-traveling Mycetian who collects tektites and takes the boys on a dream journey through the solar system and out into the heart of the galaxy, where they watch stars going nova and stars being born. It's great numinous science.
