Ever wondered if the world around you was not as it appeared? That there was something bigger going on you couldn't quite put your finger on? Welcome to The Seems, a secret organisation that makes sure our world keeps running. From weather, to sleep, to nightmares, The Seems is behind everything, keeping things ticking over. Unless there's a Glitch, which is where Becker Drane comes in. Becker has the coolest job of any 7th grader - he works as a Fixer for The Seems. When a Glitch is reported in the Department of Sleep, Becker is dispatched to fix it, but he's not so sure this is a routine mission. Could the Bed Bugs, who are behind our Worst Nightmares, be responsible for the problems? Or maybe it's The Tide, an underground organisation bent on destroying The Seems? No matter what, Becker's in for an adventure, and it'll take all his training, a little luck, and the coolest Tools(t) known in (or out of) The Seems to Fix the problem
Becker Drane has still got the coolest job in the world, but being a Fixer in The Seems while trying to live a normal 13-year-old life is sometimes impossible. On the way to a family holiday, a bomb explodes in the Department of Time and Becker is called in to repair the damage. He discovers a path of destruction way beyond his wildest imagination and his faith in The Seems, as well as in his abilities as a Fixer, are shaken to the core. But help comes from a new and ambitious Fixer, as well as a legend from the past, and soon Becker is winning out in his battle against dark forces.
At bedtime, a little girl and her father play a game in which each imagines what it would be like to be the other for a day.
When twelve-year-old Becker Drane is recruited by The Seems, a parallel universe that runs everything in The World, he must fix a disastrous glitch in the Department of Sleep that threatens the ability of everyone to ever fall asleep again.
