Perry Normal goes on an adventure of a different kind and discovers that Science cannot explain everything that happens. He encounters personal tragedy and loss, and learns to overcome difficulties that face young people as well as adults. He develops his strong bonds with his friends and community, and learns self-sacrifice to help others. And, of course, he learns lots of cool Science about earth changes and climate, and a special group of people who have had Near-Death Experiences. Confronted with realities that lie just outside the realm of scientific explanation, he integrates what he knows to be true about the world, with novel and challenging circumstances that force him to expand his beliefs and knowledge.
