However, the one he receives is tougher than most-to fix a Glitch that is ravaging the Department of Sleep.

Three years later, he’s a newly promoted Fixer for The Seems eagerly awaiting his first mission. When Becker Drane was nine years old, he filled out an application for “The Best Job in the World” on a lark. Beyond the In-Between, every detail of the world is carefully fashioned by workers in The Seems. The sunset is painted daily, the world’s rain is regulated through a huge water tank, and a Good Night’s Sleep is packaged, processed, and sent to you nightly, with a specially built dream enclosed just for you. Imagine that The World we know is constructed somewhere else. I had to sign some kind of form at the front of this book before reading it, so I’m not sure if I’m allowed to tell you any of this…but here goes. I was slightly uncomfortable with the idea of the world being run by a corporately-structured organization, but I think kids will find this entertaining and fun. The story is engaging, with fun secondary characters and a neat, original mythology for the world. This could interfere with the carefully planned Chains of Events which could in turn case a Ripple Effect, destroying the Fabric of Reality.

This Glitch is wreaking havoc in the Department of Sleep which has caused a backup in the delivery of sleep and thus, everyone in the world has a case of insomnia. They deal with Blunders, Blips, and Bleeps using their Briefer-assistants and tools such as Transport Goggles, Trouble Gum, and 'Those Things That Look a Lot Like Tweezers That You Cut Wires With.'īecker was just promoted to Fixer and now he has to deal with the most dreaded of Fixer-challenges: A Glitch. There are only 37 Fixers, and they are highly trained to deal with any problem in any department in The Seems. And Becker Drane has been recruited to work for The Seems as a Fixer. Underneath everything in the world - every Twist of Fate, every New Idea, every night's Sleep - is an organization known as 'The Seems.' The Seems is run like a corporation - there are departments, there are hierarchies, there are manufacturing assembly lines. Have you ever wondered how the world works? What I'm about to tell you is top-secret information.
