Synopsis

“He’s found us!” That’s not what twelve-year-old Trevor Tate expects his mom to say when she gets his third suspension notice in three months. He doesn’t expect a robotic tentacle to shoot out of the bathtub and drag her through an otherworldly portal, either.

Now to rescue Mom, Trevor must follow her to Nil – a world of giant bugs, monstrous machines and a disturbing lack of working toilets. Then there are the Dark Crows, an army of superkids who think Trevor is a legendary champion sent to save them from the tyrannical teens. To Trevor, whose short temper has always branded him a bully, the idea that he could be anyone’s hero is a joke... or is it?

Can Trevor really find the hero inside himself to save the day, or will he let his temper get the best of him again, now that he's in a world where violence is not only expected, but encouraged?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Contrary to popular belief, Lady Jessica of House Crichton wasn’t born. Rather she was brewed in a sooty cauldron long, long ago (40 years to be precise), by her mother the Amazon Queen. Now, as everyone knows the primary ingredients for a proper writer are as follows: two tablespoons of moonflights and starfights; a perfume-spritz of old books and new trees; cup each of adventure, swashbuckling, whimsy, and tea; the twisty, turny topsy-turv of licorice and labyrinths; the festive, fizzy felicity of puppy licks and pixie kicks. And, over all this — to finish her off — just a dash of nerddom on the very tipsy-top. But the Amazon Queen didn’t see her playful faerie friends as they unscrewed the lid to her nerddom jar, and the sprinkle-dash became a pepper mountain all over her brew. The result? A supergeek armed to the teeth with writerly words and poetic purview. Besides nerding out on books whenever inhumanly possible, Jessica moms her five fannish kids, writes about weird kids doing weirder things, watches Dr. Who and Blackadder, oh — and literatures hard at every con she attends. (She’s told she should also mention the pretty graduate degree in all that bookish stuff she earned in 2014.) Overall, she’s a big geek with a bigger imagination than her head can hold, which is why, dear reader, she is spilling all of that into YOUR head now. You’re welcome.
