Characters
References
- Jasmine names one of her eco-climates Earth.
Notes
- As suggested by the title and noted by the author on the "author's notes", the story deals with the idea of "worlds within worlds within worlds...". Additionally, Howe says he liked the idea of worlds being literally created by kids in other worlds.
Continuity
- Abraxas is half-human, half-something else. (PROSE: The Cabinet of Light)
