DEVYN PARKER WAS HAVING AN ORDINARY LIFE ... UNTIL A WORMHOLE APPEARED.The wormhole mess happened because of Devyn's powers of restraint -- which are very low, according to Devyn's friend, Tabitha. So when Uncle Albert -- a physics professor by day, and a wormhole engineer by night -- told Devyn to not, under any circumstances, go into his negative energy generator chamber alone, his warning was useless.If only Devyn hadn't gone into the chamber during a powerful thunder and lightning storm. And if only lightning hadn't struck at the exact moment Devyn walked in. Now Devyn Parker is a little ball of energy floating around in a wormhole that acts as a tunnel to the past. And if that isn't weird enough, every once in a while Devyn is chucked out of the wormhole and into the body of someone from the past caught in a moment of drama -- like Michelangelo, who wants to trick his boss ... and Cleopatra, who's trying to outsmart her enemies ... and Alexander the Great, who just received a letter telling him that his doctor is going to poison him.It's a good thing life in the wormhole isn't all that bad. In fact, it's kind of exciting. But it would be kind of nice to know whether the wormhole is ever going to lead back to Uncle Albert's laboratory in Wyoming, America, where Devyn's unconscious body is lying on the floor awaiting Devyn's return.
