Albert Flynn is psyched to return to the Core, the magical world at the center of the earth
where Balance Keepers fix problems in three underground Realms. Last
term, Albert and his Balance Keeper teammates Birdie and Leroy saved New York by fixing the Calderon Realm and were crowned First Unit, aka the
Coolest Kids in the Core.
Now Albert and his teammates have been
called to the Core for an emergency training session... along with their
archenemy, Hoyt. There’s a horrible Imbalance in the Ponderay Realm and
they have only seven days before California will be swallowed by
hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Worse yet, it’s rumored there’s a traitor among them who is causing all this chaos.
Will Albert,
Leroy, and Birdie discover who’s been putting the Core — and the world
above — in danger? Can they save Ponderay before California becomes an
underwater wasteland forever?
