I think Option 1 works well as an introduction to ideas of the multiverse for children, particularly if combined with references to Child Horror and Fairytales.I've got option 1) outlined and while I like it, the limited scale of the book (And not wanting to overcomplicate it) I dont explore the AH concept that much .
I remember reading a book where they discuss that quite well, for example the main character exists in several different worlds but looks different and has different siblings due to when the POD occurs. The other him even mentions that in a world where Franz Ferdinand isn’t killed, they don’t exist as they would.2) perhaps appeals to me more as a) Emily is older so I can explore more how her life has turned out b) the audience is older so I can perhaps explore the concept of alternate history more, for example Rose (the first parallel she meets) has a world that diverges in 2000, but there could be much more divergent worlds.
I do like the second story, I do think you could have some recent AltHist stuff mixed in too (a series’s of streets are named after Prime Minister Kinnock etc.)
I would happily proof read and discuss either.
