Eleven year-old Nate thinks middle school would be perfect if he could just raise his popularity a notch or two. But getting the student body to forget about his past admission of seeing clips of the future is easier said than done. Adding to his social complications is his sister (his TWIN sister) Mia who not only is smarter and better looking than him, but is pretty much top of the social ladder at their peer pressure focused middle school (and likes to boss her brother around wherever she sees fit).
But life is about to change drastically, for the both of them, whether they are ready for it or not.
Dragged unwilling one night into an unknown world of adventure and danger, where the snails are vigilantes and the wasps are after your blood, it is up to Nate and Mia, along with the help of a very stern dragon guide, to help save the princess and change the destiny of Atronia forever.
Will Nate be able to forget his innate craving for popularity and realise that worthiness is not measured by a boy's number of social networking friends, but by the belief that he holds in himself?
Will Mia learn to be less of a control freak, and understand that her way is not always the best way?
Will Kavator learn to let go of a deeply rooted guilt that threatens to stop him from caring for anything else ever again?
And just who is the mysterious person following them at a comfortable distance?
But above all else, will the three manage to pull together and show a united strength when facing their darkest hours at the mercy of the King's nemesis, Morvoina?
With an entire hidden world depending on Nate and his ability to undertake a journey of such greatness, it is up to him to live up to his promise and save the princess.
Life as a middle school student has never been so heavy.
