In a near future world where technology is a bit more advanced than our own, Sidney Jamison is just your average curious kid with a penchant for taking things apart and figuring out how they work . . . and maybe getting them back together again.

The class is invited to participate in the study at WAVElab of the world’s first fusion reactor–a not to be missed opportunity! But the class only just arrives when things take a turn for the worse. Scientists are going missing, just suddenly gone from the underwater lab. The new fusion reactor isn’t just creating energy it’s creating strange anomalies in the time and space around the lab and something terrifying has come on board . . . With time running out, it’s going to be up to Sid and his classmates to battle monsters, rescue the crew and explore the rips in time and space to see what lies beyond them.

There’s an additional challenge for readers to imagine an alternate world version of themselves and a number of other reader-related activities. It’s great stuff, especially for the reader who might have more trouble connecting with a book easily and can use some visual and tactile prompts to help make those connections.

I hope kids will pick these up and read them, and be inspired to discover, invent and explore!
