The Glitch in Sleep (The Seems: Book 1)

by John Hulme and Michael Wexler
Becker Drane is like any ordinary twelve-year-old boy, except for one important fact: he is a Fixer.

This book is set in a universe that is split between the World and "the Seems," a parallel universe that runs everything in the World. When something major goes wrong, such as with the Weather or Time, a Fixer is paged. They are specialist members of an elite corps, who get the job done when no one else could.

Becker has many fixing adventures, along with another fixer Casey Lake, a twenty-something girl that a lot of guys have a crush on, and Simly, Becker's "Briefer" (assistant).

Come along on a romp through the "Stream of Consciousness" to the Seems, and see how our crack team handles the world-wide disturbance in Sleep.

Also includes extensive Glossary of Terms and Tools of the Trade.

Recommended for grades 4-9
