This is an acutely original and impossibly cool fast-paced, action-packed read, probably mostly for boys from 9+. Fans of Eoin Colfer will love it. Told in a cinematic style, the authors have created an incredibly inventive world, a world where The Seems is behind everything and when there’s a glitch in the system a fixer, like 12 year old Becker Drane is the only one who can fix it. But this glitch is no ordinary glitch but Becker must find out who is so determined to destroy The Seems before it’s too late. Join The Seems if you dare at www.theseems.com.
Ever wondered if the world around you was not as it appeared? That there was something bigger going on you couldn't quite put your finger on? Welcome to The Seems, a secret organization that makes sure our world keeps running. From weather, to sleep, to nightmares, The Seems is behind everything, keeping things ticking over.
