Phineas T. Fogg has everything a thirty-first-century boy could want—everything, that is, except adventure. His overprotective parents have never allowed him to leave his high-tech apartment— not to ride the roller-coaster serpents of Neptune 2, not to sail the ultrablack sea of the Frillian Riviera, not even to check out the ball pit on the moon. But, deep inside, he’s always known that he’s destined for something great. He’s always secretly felt . . . chosen.Unfortunately for Phin, he isn’t the Chosen One—but he does know her.

But first, she and Phin will have to survive the bog mutants, a baked bean in a very nice suit, and a mysterious invitation to tea. Oh, and escape a race of all-powerful interdimensional beings who are convinced that Lola knows the answer.
