9Winnie Harris, following a warrior code in honor of her mother's fighting spirit, will do whatever it takes to protect her little stepbrother, Mikey. Kip Skyler, charming to everyone but Winnie, impresses her stepbrother with his sleight of hand. Now Mikey wants them to pass through a time tear into Frama-12 and save the inhabitants from an invasion. She'll be the general and Kip the wizard. Winnie sees two problems with the mission. Frama-12 is just a fantasy game, right? And Kip is majorly annoying. But she's only half right. If the incompatible teens can't work together, an enemy could march through a very real time tear and attack Earth.
