the seems:  the glitch in sleep by john hulme and michael wexler

another bid to try to write a “hot series”… this one is about the secret world that controls everything in the world we know–weather patterns, sleeping, our five senses… everything.  they recruit “fixers” from the world to repair problems because they have a special 7th sense that helps them to locate the problem.  becker drane is a 12 year old third grader who likes to hang out at the local coffee shop to do his homework (isn’t that a little old for 3rd grade?  especially for the talented minds that you need to possess in order to be hired as a “fixer”?) who ends up being the hero of the book.  these two authors have a tendency towards very trendy slang that will feel dated in a few years and they’ve also left some pretty big plot pitfalls (see above).  the pacing was good and the general storyline was ok, but … i’m not planning to rush out to read any sequels they write.
