Ever open your locker and find that some joker has left something really weird inside? Seventh grader Dorso Clayman opens his and finds a dead body. Thirty seconds later, it disappears. It’s not the first bizarre thing that has appeared in his locker and then vanished. The ultimate gamesters have decided to make Dorso and his buddy Frank the target of some strange techno-practical jokes. They’ve hacked into the time line, and things from the past keep appearing in the present. Soon, the pranks aren’t funny anymore – they’re dangerous. Dorso and Frank have got to beat the time hackers at their own game and break the code, before they get lost in the past themselves. Gary Paulsen takes listeners on a wild ride through time in this hilarious adventure.
