WARNING: Anything can happen in a Split Second.
Becker Dranes still got the coolest job in The World, but its getting harder and harder to live a normal life outside of The Seems. Hes definitely feeling the strain of being a teenager (complete with mood swings and a newfound respect for sarcasm) and he cant stop thinking about Jennifer Kaley, the totally cool girl he met during his Mission in Sleep. Things dont get any easier when a bomb explodes in the Department of Time and Becker is called in to pick up the pieces after a more senior Fixer couldnt disarm the device. Its his toughest mission yet, and Becker finds himself going places in The Seems he never knew existed, and meeting people long thought dead. Yep, its just another day in the life of Becker Drane. Lets hope he lives to Fix again . . . .
Synopsis
Becker Drane knows exactly how The World works
You know the rain we had two weeks ago, or that nightmare you had last night? Becker Drane can tell you exactly who or what was responsible because Becker works as a Fixer for The Seems. From the Department of Weather to the Department of Time, The Seems is the world-behind-our-World, and it keeps everything running smoothly.
But every so often, something goes wrong.
When a Glitch makes its way into the Department of Sleep, Becker is called in for his very first Fixer assignment and he's got to get it right. But this Mission is tricky, and his regular Tools aren't up to the test. If Becker doesn't find a Fix fast, he just might lose the coolest job ever--and The World will lose a lot more than a good night's sleep.
Synopsis
Becker Drane may have the coolest job in The World, but he's struggling to keep up with his normal life outside of The Seems. He's so busy Fixing that his Me-2 spends more time with his family than he does. And even though he's supposed to keep his life in The World and The Seems separate, he can't stop thinking about the girl he met during his Mission in Sleep.
And the Missions aren't exactly getting easier.
When a bomb explodes in the Department of Time, Becker is called in to take over for a more senior Fixer. But the bomb has created a path of destruction Becker could never have imagined. And if Becker can't Fix this Mission in Time, he might not have to worry about balancing life between The World and The Seems anymore. . . ."
Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Becker Drane works as a Fixer for The Seems, a secret organization that makes sure the world keeps running. When a Glitch is reported in the Department of Sleep, Becker is dispatched to Fix it, but he's not so sure this is a routine mission.
About the Author
John Hulme and Michael Wexler are the authors of The Seems: The Glitch in Sleep. They accidentally stumbled upon the existence of The Seems after opening an unlocked Door in Wilmington, North Carolina, during the summer of 1995. From that moment on, they were obsessed with the curious realm they had discovered and sought to pen a book series based on this find. Though the project was held up in administrative Red Tape for nearly eleven years, the Powers That Be finally signed off on its release, resulting in the text you now hold.
Hulme lives with his wife, Jennifer, and son, Jack, in a small New Jersey town with crookety sidewalks and tree-lined streets.
Wexlers whereabouts remain unknown.
