Eleven-year-old Tabitha Tate was happy on Earth. She had friends there, a home, and a bright future as a brilliant scientist. Then it all went down the bathtub drain. Now, Tab is in a different world full of giant bugs, monstrous machines, and some crazy Dr. Fixit guy who REALLY doesn't like her. Where does she fit in now, among a group of superKids who are way tougher and smarter than she could ever hope to be? Tab has a lot to think about as she follows her heroic brother into the zombie-choked swamps of Noc in search of Dr. Fixit's mysterious partner -- the only one who can reverse the Machine of Nil and wake up the Teens. But when her friends start acting disturbingly zombie-like, she finds that she's the only one left who can save the day. Does Tabitha Tate of Earth have what it takes to finally earn her name and take her rightful place as Glory: hero of Nil?
