Description
Eleven-year-old Sebby has found the perfect escape from his crummy house and
bickering family: The Hole in the Wall. It’s a pristine, beautiful glen in the midst of a
devastated mining area behind Sebby’s home. But it’s not long after he’s found it that
his world starts falling apart: His family’s chickens disappear, colors start jumping off
the wall and coming to life, and after sneaking a taste of raw cookie dough he fi nds
himself with the mother of all stomachaches. When Sebby sets out to solve these
mysteries, he and his twin sister Barbie get caught in a wild chase through the tunnels
and caverns around The Hole in the Wall—all leading them to the mining activities of
one Stanley Odum, the hometown astrophysicist who’s buying up all the land behind
Sebby’s home. Exactly what is Mr. Odum mining in his secret facility, and does it have
anything to do with the mystery of the lost chickens and Sebby’s stomachache? The
answers to these questions go much further than the twins expect.

Advance Praise
"Seb Daniels is growing up in a despoiled landscape going haywire in a specifically twenty-first-century way. Lisa Rowe Fraustino is masterful in this tale of surreal survival."
