The Split Second

I loved everything about this book! The Split Second is a masterful sequel to The Glitch in Sleep. The hero, Becker Drane, now 13 is called to another important mission when the Department of Time in the Seems is threatened. The reader becomes thoroughly immersed in the imaginary world of the Seems where the "Plan" for our own world unfolds moment by moment. The cast of characters comes from all over the globe and take... Read Full Review

He eventually gets an unexpected response and makes a harrowing trip (I don't know why,... Read Full Review

Within the first 50 pages, I laughed out loud dozens of times and actually had tears in my eyes on one occasion. For you parents out there (and I am one): There are a number of important themes running through the book - the Seemsians, especially our protagonist Becker Drane, have strong ethics,...
