Description

Eleven-year-old Tabitha Tate was happy on Earth. She had friends there, a home, and a bright future as a brilliant scientist. Then it all went down the bathtub drain. Now Tab is in a different world, full of giant bugs, monstrous machines, and some crazy Dr. Fixit guy who REALLY doesn't like her. Where does she fit in now, among a group of superKids who are way tougher and smarter than she could ever hope to be? Tab has a lot to think about as she follows her heroic brother into the zombie-chocked swamps of Noc in search of Dr. Fixit's mysterious partner -- the only one who can reverse the Machine of Nil and wake up the Teens. But when her friends start acting disturbingly zombie-like, she finds that she's the only one left who can save the day. Does Tabitha Tate of Earth have what it takes to finally earn her name and take her rightful place as Glory: Hero of Nil?

About the Author

Contrary to popular belief, Lady Jessica of House Crichton wasn't born. Rather she was brewed in a sooty cauldron long, long ago (40 years to be precise), by her mother the Amazon Queen. Now, as everyone knows the primary ingredients for a proper writer are as follows: two tablespoons of moonflights and starfights; a perfume-spritz of old books and new trees; cup each of adventure, swashbuckling, whimsy, and tea; the twisty, turny topsy-turv of licorice and labyrinths; the festive, fizzy felicity of puppy licks and pixie kicks. And, over all this - to finish her off - just a dash of nerddom on the very tipsy-top. But the Amazon Queen didn't see her playful faerie friends as they unscrewed the lid to her nerddom jar, and the sprinkle-dash became a pepper mountain all over her brew. The result? A supergeek armed to the teeth with writerly words and poetic purview. Besides nerding out on books whenever inhumanly possible, Jessica moms her five fannish kids, writes about weird kids doing weirder things, watches Dr. Who and Blackadder, oh - and literatures hard at every con she attends. (She's told she should also mention the pretty graduate degree in all that bookish stuff she earned in 2014.) Overall, she's a big geek with a bigger imagination than her head can hold, which is why, dear reader, she is spilling all of that into YOUR head now. You're welcome.
