Digital Disaster

    It’s a Long Way Back to Normal...
   Austin and Ashley Webster are normal 12-year-old kids, living in Normal, Illinois. But things get very abnormal when an odd digital camera transports them into the wild, wild world of the Internet.
   Soon they’re hopping from website to website, searching for their Aunt’s Jessica’s lost prize-winning beagle, Applet. From the Titanic to the Apostle Paul’s shipwreck, they’re really there!
    But things get really wired when they run into the mysterious Mattie Blankenskrean, who’s trying to wipe out sites she doesn’t like. And she’s not going to let the kids get in her way. Can Austin and Ashley find Applet and make their way back to Normal–before Ms. Blankenskrean reprograms the truth?

Fudge Factor

    The Pursuers Become the Pursued...
   Thanks to a very weird digital camera, normal 12-year-olds Austin and Ashley Webster from Normal, Illinois are still stuck inside the World Wide Web. They’re meeting cyber-people, chasing their aunt’s dog Applet, and trying to keep the mysterious Mattie Blankenskrean from erasing the truth!
   But truth can be tough, sometimes, especially when it would be so easy to, well, fudge the facts just a little. Even so, with Ms. B’s hand-held computer–the one she uses to wipe out the Web–maybe they can get home, after all.
   Or not. Because Mattie Blankenskrean will do anything to get her computer back. And don’t look now, but she’s right behind them!
