Meet the wonder-full Aleca Zamm, an ordinary ten-year-old with an
extraordinary ability: she can stop time!
Aleca Zamm has finally reached double digits and she still doesn't have
a "thing"--a special talent or ability that will make her stand out. Her
best friend, Maria, has a thing (swim team); her sister, Dylan, has a
thing (singing); and even her former BFF Madison has a thing (soccer).
But Aleca? No. Thing.
Until the day of her tenth birthday when Aleca discovers she can stop
time just by saying her name. Suddenly, Aleca has a thing...and life is
about to get a lot more interesting!
It turns out that being a Wonder (as her eccentric Aunt Zephyr, who is
also a Wonder, calls it) comes with a few caveats, and that stopping
time doesn't go undetected by other Wonders or those who may be
searching for them. With her new mentor Aunt Zephyr by her side, Aleca
discovers that being special comes with special challenges she never
expected.
