Sometimes our greatest moments of enlightenment come from our worst
mistakes.
When life supplies eleven-year-old Tommy Grant with some unfavorable
circumstances intruding on his otherwise tranquil life in Ohio, he
retreats into the spell-binding Order of Cosmic Champions. When he
discovers that the largely successful animated program and toy line is
holding a nationwide "Create-A-Character" contest where applicants
submit their action figure designs, Tommy knows he has to enter as
surely as he knows his own name.
But when Tommy's character design fails to win the contest, he finds his
world crumbling from all sides. And there is only one way he knows to
fix it.
What follows is a whirlwind coming-of-age adventure of righting wrongs,
overcoming perilous obstacles, confronting our inner demons, and
challenging the limits of reality. In this waxing nostalgic and
imaginative fantasy, readers will discover what excitement lies waiting
when you take risks and conquer your fears. Only one question remains:
In the final hour when you heed the call, the courage to give your all,
will you stand or fall?
