When eleven-year-old TJ finds a weird looking egg in the Florida Everglades after a tropical storm rips through, naturally he takes it home for identification. It could be the egg of a mutant duck or something, which would be awesome. Problem is, the egg doesn't look like it came from a mallard, even a mutated one--it's too big and heavy and...strange. So he hides it away in his closet and continues on with his life as usual, doing his best to ignore the creepy men constantly banging at his front door and the significant rise in military helicopter sightings in his typically quiet neighbourhood. Then one day he comes home from school and it's as though a cyclone has gone through his bedroom. Suddenly, TJ knows he's dealing with something a little more interesting--and a little more deadly--than a duck.

It is vital to Ooolandia's survival, and it is fraying. He must take radical action. Along with his quirky sidekick, he sets out on a journey beyond the surface of the Seen to bring back proof of the true nature of nature.

Twelve-year-old Julian Newcomber knows he has a fitting "what the smart folks call apropos" last name. His family moves constantly due to his Dad's quirky inventions, which have a habit of misbehaving and blowing up the family home. Now firmly settled in a peaceful, close-knit community, Julian believes he's finally found a home, and a safe haven from his father's calamities. Until a vaguely familiar 20-year-old man walks out of the bedroom closet, and identifies himself as future Julian. Turns out that his father's latest contraption, the eTab, alters time. So grown-up Julian decided joyride into the past and dropped his cell phone on a Civil War battlefield. With his own eTab too low on Cucumium to take him all the way back to his own time, grown-up Julian needs young Julian to help him go back to the Civil War and retrieve his cell phone. The two Julians break rules, break curfews, and break into the Intermediate School in an effort to locate some Cucumium (though they're not exactly sure what it is), so they won't be forced to share the room and fight over the top bunk forever. Oh, and if grown-up Julian stays, it could, as a side effect, pollute the natural timeline and rewrite history as they know it. No pressure.
