He has a reputations for unconventional teaching methods and has been brought before the school board on several occasions to justify them. The current project is to have blind-folded students in groups of three dropped off by the school bus at random places in the city and the kids are to find their way to various checkpoints without maps, cell phones, phone cads, or credit cards and cash. During this exercise, Joey discovers that he is a walker, capable of transporting himself across time and space. He also discovers that he is not unique. There are thousands just like him - para-incarnations of him. He is drawn into a battle between the forces of good and evil...Evil takes on a most ominous facade, demonizing cruelty as two forces - one predicated on magic, the other on science, attempt to utilize walkers as sources of power in their attempt to take over the altiverse. This is an excellent read! SciFi fans, adventure story fans, lovers of budding romances, and those who crave coming of age stories will love this one.
