The Lovereading comment:
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.
Synopsis
The Seems: The Glitch in Sleep by John Hulme, Michael WexlerEver wondered if the world around you was not as it appeared?

From weather, to sleep, to nightmares, The Seems is behind everything, keeping things ticking over.
Reviews
I loved the ideas behind the Seems. What an amazingly inventive world they have created. It speaks to the little boy in me who always thought there was something going on behind the scenes. Something no one else cared to believe in. This story deals with what I call the magical half of science. That part that makes you marvel at the sheer power of the way things work before you really understand how they work. It's scientific mythology! Scythology? What a wonderful concept! I wanna be a fixer now because nothing else will do. Topher Bradfield, Bookpeople, Austin, TX Humorous and exciting, this first book left me eager for more from this new series, and you can be sure I'll be reading the rest. Amazon.comAbout The Author
