ABOUT THE JOURNEYS OF JOHN AND JULIA IN CHAPTER ONE: GENESIS Could a thirteen-year-old’s summer be any more of a nightmare? First Julia’s dad takes off to start a whole new family. Then Julia’s mom, Elizabeth, yanks Julia from cheerleader camp. If that’s not bad enough, Elizabeth exiles Julia to eight exciting weeks with Julia’s recently widowed grandmother in Cedarwood Ridge, land of no signal, no mall, no best friend Kellie. Julia’s only hope for human contact in the land that cell towers forgot is geeky John Freeman, who is six months younger than she and about a million years behind her idea of cool.

If only Julia knew that her mom plans to dump her at Grandma’s not just for the summer, but for a whole year. If only Julia knew that although things may look desperate, a collective of wondrous beings called The Twenty-Two are watching over her and trying to make contact. If only Julia knew that they could tell Julia every thought she never knew she had and bend her reality in any way they choose. And that she’d be with John Freeman when it happened. And that he’d think it was cool. And that is just the beginning. For this seemingly mismatched pair of thirteen-year-olds will come to understand that they have been chosen to save the world from the sinister manipulations of Niem Vidalgo Oten, a terrifying corporate overlord with supernatural powers who secretly rules digital communications all over the world and commands an army of ruthless minions.
