We meet Tick (AKA Atticus Higginbottom ) as he is standing inside his own locker waiting for the bullies to leave. Since kindergarten Tick has always been somewhat of a loner, trying his best to stay invisible from the rest of his classmates. But that will all soon change when he gets a mysterious letter that will lead him and 3 others on an adventure of a lifetime. Can Tick and only a handful of other kids save the world AKA Reality Prime from Mistress Jane? Or will the world as we know it simply disappear forever?
