From the author of Rise to Omniscience, comes a brand new series!

Zundy Vicehammer is different than the others in his town. Unlike them, he did not gain the properties of stone or steel upon birth, but rather, those of a beetle; and in a small town like his, those who are different are often treated badly.

His time there is coming to an end though, as the time of the Great Journey is fast approaching. A time when pal-tees of age set out toward the Green Sea in search of the Viridian Core, the lost treasure of their people.

This is the time of the pal-tees. Welcome to Pal-Tee Planet!
