He would have to go through events much more intense than any bully could muster up. If he did want to take part in this adventure, which he knew almost nothing about, he would have to solve the clues he was given and see what happened. If not, he would have to burn the letter. Tick had a choice to "play the game" or not. All he knew was that it was from Alaska, of all places, and that is was from someone by the title of "M.G.". That was until he received a letter in the mail.

He felt as if this was how he was to spend every minute for the next 4 or 5 years. The only attention he ever earned was when he was being shoved into his locker by the traditional ruffians. He would rather be called "Tick", however "Atticus" seems much more deluxe. All of the drama seemed too much to begin with, right? The only exception was if you were an introvert like Atticus Higginbottom. Now, imagine what your life was like in 7th grade. Quite possibly, you could be in one of the realities that is slowly being torn apart. Others are being destroyed by unknown forces. Some of them are falling apart themselves. It is almost impossible to destroy, however, there are other realities as well. Theoretically, every choice we make creates a new reality.

Worth the read, especially if you have that awakened, scientific curiosity. I feel like every famous author has that book or series that no one seems to remember, or is underrated/put on the back burner, away from their most noticeable work(s). With the second book, it picks up some short time after the events of the first book, with a "familiar" face trying to "help" Tick and friends. The first book, its plot consists of Atticus "Tick" receiving these mysterious letters from "M.G." containing riddles and clues among themselves, leading to a race against, and for, time. Though I will say, these first two books, especially the first book, are slow burning and takes a while for the main plot to kick in, which can be a bit of a downer, depending on how you look at it I thought the slow build up in the first book was needed.

The idea that this series bases itself-quantum mechanics, alternate realities-it just automatically calls for a classic. The Hunt for Dark Infinity: 4 out of 5 starsĪs big as this bind up is, barely breaking 1000 pages, the story does read quicker than most 1000+ page books. The Journal of Curious Letters: 4.5 out of 5 stars
