	The Theory of Everything By Kari Luna Sophie Sophia has coffee with Dorothy Parker, believes hot dogs contain alien implants and chats with Robert Motherwell inside of one of his very own paintings. She sees things no one else sees. Does things you can hardly imagine. And even though this sounds like the most exciting, must-have kind of life, all she wants is what every other 14-year old girl wants: to fit in. Thanks to an eccentric, physicist father who left when she was eight and a mother who prefers moving to dealing with confrontation, Sophie’s life has been anything but normal. Add in her increasingly frequent visions and you’re left with a girl who can’t have regular clothing, a boyfriend, or an uninterrupted math class. That is, until she moves to Havencrest. In this boring suburb about twenty miles north of Chicago, Sophie decides to get rid of her visions, once and for all. It’s here she meets a scientific boy genius who wants to cure her, a shaman panda who guides her, a rare book-loving gang who tries to solve her and a neighbor who makes amazing banana bread – and knows a lot more about life than she does. As Sophie discovers more about her visions, string theory, and a father who could be the key to it all, she also learns how to love a life less ordinary. Soundtrack features 1987 favorites like Joy Divison, The Cure, Bauhaus, Echo & The Bunnymen, Tom Waits and more. Curious? Questions? Contact Kari.
