In a slight tangent, there was a 'young adult' book I read when I was 12 or so, I think the title was 'The boy who turned backwards' or something of the sort. It was about a girl who met a boy who could step into a 4th spacial dimension. The result was, he could reverse himself - much like taking a 2d shape, picking it up into a 3rd dimension, flipping it, and putting it back down. It also dealt with the intersection of 4-spatial-dimension creature with the 3-spatial-dimensions we can see.
Anyway, end of tangent. Good book, and pretty advanced concepts for its target age-group. Semi-related to that 'Flatland' book everyone and their mom is forced to read in some class or another.
