Strxia

STRXIA: THE ODDS ARE AGAINST US is a STEM-based portal fantasy with a target audience of elementary school children in the age range of eight to twelve. Strxia is a parallel world in crisis due to the authoritarian rule of the Odds, an elite group of scientists who have taken control of odd numbers, leading to structural and economic chaos. Access to odd numbers is limited to those who are able to pay exorbitant fees. The plot of Strxia invites young readers to contemplate the social and economic repercussions of a world where the vast majority of children are not permitted to learn odd numbers. Our unconventional hero, Seth Cox, devises a plan to release odd numbers that relies on his own mathematical aptitude in conjunction with the distinctive skills of three of his baseball teammates: Jared, Alex, and Chase. A very similar plan unfolds on Earth as the four players attempt to help their team win the first game of the season. Tension mounts as they confront seemingly insurmountable obstacles in both worlds.
