Description

Seven rubies and a wise guardian, swarming invaders and a hypnotic void, one boy battles the darkness and journeys to a kingdom of light where time stands still.

Eighth-grader Matt Silvers never has enough time. Time to open his locker and rush to class. Time to catch the bus or finish his homework. Time to impress Coach before the big basketball championship . . .

But time stands still when Matt and his friends, Ryan and Julie, journey to a realm of wonder. A kingdom where a wise guardian reveals Matt's superhero identity and challenges them to find seven rubies and seven messages--secret wisdom they'll need to battle the swarming Craevin and resist the evil Dark Void.

When Matt returns to his everyday world, will time give him a second chance? Another chance to win the trophy for his team and rescue his mesmerized friends. And one last chance to save his grandfather from a dangerous trap.
