Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Hulme and Wexler… creat[e] a complex and intricate world with a sometimes daunting array of gadgets, bureaucracy, vocabulary, and capitalization…These details don’t become overwhelming, fortunately, thanks to the book’s consistently lighthearted tone…high sense of adventure and an abundance of goofball humor.” Publishers Weekly
“This fantasy is one fast-paced adventure.” Children’s Literature
“A thoroughly enjoyable read, this story is as fast paced as Becker Drane’s life. Elements of science fiction, fantasy, and myth blend to create the world of the Seems and combined with an original and clever protagonist, it makes for an unusual adventure.” VOYA
“In the tradition of British humorist Douglas Adams, book one in the planned Seems series will play best to secular genre fans, who will admire the offbeat exploration of a universe-tilting idea.” Booklist
“A rollicking tale, with great world-building and likable characters and a strong setup for further adventures…upbeat and full of humor.” School Library Journal
“Metaphors and turns of phrase take on new meanings without feeling overdone in this engaging title. The authors have a firm grasp on the potential complexity of their world, and the end result can only be described as fun.” Kirkus Reviews

Author Bio: John Hulme

John Hulme is the coauthor of The Seems: The Glitch in Sleep. He accidentally stumbled upon the existence of The Seems after opening an unlocked Door in Wilmington, North Carolina, during the summer of 1995. From that moment on, he was obsessed with the curious realm he had discovered and sought to pen a book series based on this find. Though the project was held up in administrative Red Tape for nearly eleven years, the Powers That Be finally signed off on its release. Hulme lives with his wife, Jennifer, and son, Jack, in a small New Jersey town with crookety sidewalks and tree-lined streets.
