A good adventure story in an amazing world. I absolutely loved all the play on words and double meanings the author used. ( )

This second book in The Seems series features Becker Drain, a teenage prodigy who works as a 'fixer' in an organization called the Seems. This organization is in charge of... well everything. From sunsets to dreams to making sure thunder follows lightning, the Seems makes the world go round. In this story, time is at risk when a second is split. Get it? Split second? And how do you fix a split second? With a stitch in time of course! The book is filled with cute phrases that will make you laugh out loud. The plot is ok, not stellar, but an entertaining book for children and young adults.

Clever language and plot, smooth and lively pace, as well as endearing characters struggling with morals and identity issues, without the book seeming preachy.

This is the sequel to the first book in the Seems series, A Glitch in Sleep. The fate of the World is once more in jeopardy, and it is up to Fixer Becker Drane to fix it before the World is destroyed. Quick background. The seems is a place that actually created the World (ie Earth) and everything that happens on earth is orchestrated through a department of the seems (think sunsets, time, sleep, random occurrences, luck, etc). There is a master Plan that no one is aware of that governs how the World runs. But as with any organization, there are problems from time to time and that is where fixers come in. Becker Drane is a fixer who is called in when the need arises to get things working properly again. This time, a second is split and is threatening to destroy the world unless it can be put back together.
