Thirteen-year-old "Tick" Higginbottom begins receiving mysterious letters full of clues that hint at an upcoming disaster that could wipe out the human race. He is being asked to help stop this disaster. The clues are being sent from all over the world signed only by ‘MG’. Tick, picked on at school decides that this is his chance to make a difference. He chooses to do his part to help save the world… little does he know however that by making the choice to help, he is putting himself and his family in grave danger! He is attacked by robotic gnats and encounters ‘tingles’ – ghost-like forms that make a high-pitched shriek that can drive you insane… not to mention his confrontation with the evil Mistress Jane! This is a great read for boys (girls, too!). Full of action and clues to decipher! Two more books are available in this series. Reviewed by BPL staff TC
