Book Description

Age Level: 10 and up | Grade Level: 5 and up | Series: Seems

Cualquier cosa puede suceder en una fraccion de segundo. Becker Drane todavia tiene el mejor trabajo en el mundo, pero cada vez mas es dificil vivir una vida normal fuera de Los Seems. Siente la presion de ser en definitiva un adolescente (con cambios de humor y el descubrimiento del sarcasmo) y no puede dejar de pensar en Jennifer Kaley, la chica que encontro durante su mision en el mundo de los suenos. Las cosas no se tornan mas faciles cuando explota una bomba en el Departamento de Tiempo y Becker es llamado para recomponer las piezas, despues de que un ""Fijador"" del mas alto nivel no pudiera desarmar el dispositivo. Es su mision mas dificil hasta el momento, y Becker debera ir a lugares en Los Seems que no sabia que existian, y encontrar a personas que pensaba habian muerto hacia tiempo. Si, solo es otro dia en la vida de Drane Becker. Esperemos que viva para ""Fijar"" de nuevo / Fixer Becker Drane, 13, reappears to save The World from a renegade Split Second and a powerful Time Bomb. He leads the life of a normal teenager until his 7th Sense alerts him to danger, and his Blinker goes off with a message from The Seems that gives him his new assignment. The Seems is an organization on the other side of the Fabric of Reality that created the Real World and is responsible for making everything in it (Time, Sleep, Weather, etc.) run smoothly. When there is a problem, a Fixer, with the help of a Briefer, must get to work. Becker's job is to find and fix the Split Second before a rebel group bent on destroying The World sets off the bomb. Hilarious wordplay, capitalized idiomatic expressions, puns, and figures of speech propel the plot along at a manic pace as Becker falls in love, tries to follow the Rules, and narrowly escapes annihilation. A delightful caste of noble and nefarious characters adds to the fun. For those in need of a moral component, there is much philosophizing about why bad things happen if the great Seems Plan for The World is supposed to be so perfect. Readers are encouraged to take the Seems Aptitude Test to become a Fixer. Advise readers to approach this book with a Grain of Salt and with Tongue firmly in Cheek for a wild ride.
