Also in this series: Enough about Me
An origami-obsessed kid named Meade gets invited to a convention for his duplicates from parallel Earths. But here’s the bummer: even among 99 versions of himself, he’s just as unpopular and all-around average as he is back home. Even so, the fate of countless worlds rests in his nimble fingers when he uncovers the sinister plot of his evil genius doppelgänger. Can he and other misfits from the convention save the multiverse from...themselves?
Pleased to Meet Me by SG Wilson is the first book in a new series that had me laughing from the beginning to the end.
Will Average Me be able to stop Meticulous Me?
Average Me
Average Me is the main character of the book. We follow him into meeting the other Me’s. Average Me and the Other Mes are all named Meade Macon, but they are all different from each other. He is only thirteen years old and has put a lot of pressure on himself to be something more. Let that be an inventor like his dad, a scientist like his mom, an actor, a basketball player, or even a teacher. Average Me tries to do some of these things and isn’t good at any of them. The one thing that I like about Average Me is that out of all of the Me’s, he’s the only one who isn’t afraid to just be ordinary.
The Other Mes
Average Me goes to Me Con, and it’s a convention where you meet the other versions of yourself. There is a lot of different Meade Macon’s there. A total of ninety-nine, to be exact. I won’t say much as you need to read the book, but each Me, as I said above, are completely different from each other. It shows by how they are all dressed, they act, and how they are to the other Mes. Meticulous Me is the I don’t want to say Bad Guy Me, but that’s basically what he is.
Five Stars
Pleased to Meet Me by SG Wilson is only the beginning of this new series. It takes a bit of time to get situated with all the nicknames for all the Mes, but you will get used to it. I am giving it five stars as it was a good read. I liked its originality and how much time the author took to build each of the Me’s worlds. Not only that, but to make them different while also the same for Average Me to recognize himself in the other Mes. Besides the way that they look with the same hair color and look. I am also recommending it to anyone that wants to give it a shot.
Me vs. the Multiverse Series
