- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Twelve year old Becker Drane of Highland Park, NJ works as a fixer for the Seems. The Seems is the world behind our world where they build the world from scratch every day and keep things running. They are in charge of everything: the weather, sleep, dreams and nightmares, nature, energy and time. When a Glitch makes it's way into the sleep chamber the entire world suffers from insomnia. Since no one is sleeping, dreams can't be delivered. Actions that people would have taken the next day based on their dreams won't happen and important events that were scheduled will therefore not occur. It's up to Becker to save sleep.I thought this book was fun, esp the word games and puns. I found the main character almost as precocious as Flavia de Luce ( At age 9 he hangs out at coffee bars, drinking hot chocolate, chatting with baristas and discussing music with Jazz cats) but more likable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5really original premise for a middle reader sci-fi book. liked it a lot.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was great. It is inventive, unique and creative. I can't wait to read the next installment. I loved how everything we take for granted is divided up into departments and run by others behind the scenes. It gives you something to think about. Great for a discussion group or writing prompt.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The world isn't really what it seems to be. The seems create and keep world running. However what happens when a disaster occurs in the Department of Sleep.
