Gewgaws are worthless trinkets . . . or are they?
Perry Dobbs is a 13-year-old boy who only wants to play video games, never go outside, and avoid 'The Dragon' downstairs.
Arvin Pewter's smart, witty, and loves science and girls in equal proportions. He left for two years to live with his grandmother in Ireland, and he hasn't seen Perry since.
When a mysterious object pulls Perry and Arvin into a magical portal, they're unwittingly thrust into a whirlwind adventure across time and space. The journey home will show the best and worst of each other and test the limits of their friendship.
But while looking ahead, will they see what's following behind?
