Seventh grade is the turning point for many middle schoolers. So it is for Harley and his best friend TJ at JFK Middle School. They are part of a quartet of close friends growing up in a cul-de-sac. These friends discover that people are not always who they seem to be, even teachers. An accident during a soccer match sets them on a life-saving quest. Harley and TJ find themselves in a strange world where they must forge onward to complete this quest. Absorbed into Einstein's fluidity of time theory and guided by Ms. Clio's mythology expertise,  the boys face one challenge after another with two unlikely but significant companions, the crow of Apollo and the owl of Athena. One never knows the strength of his own character until coming face to face with his greatest fears.
