What if every time you made a choice that had a significant consequence, a new, alternate reality was created--the life that would've been had you made the other choice? What if those new realities were in danger? What if it fell to you to save all the realities? Atticus Higginbottom, a.k.a. Tick, is an average thirteen-year-old boy until the day a strange letter arrives in his mailbox. Postmarked from Alaska and cryptically signed with the initials "M.G.," the letter informs Tick that dangerous--perhaps even deadly--events have been set in motion that could result in the destruction of reality itself. M.G. promises to send Tick twelve riddles that will reveal on a certain day, at a certain time, at a certain place, something extraordinary will happen. Will Tick have the courage to follow the twelve clues M.G. sends to him? Will he be able to solve the riddles in time? Will Tick discover the life he was meant to live? The first volume of an outstanding new children's fantasy series, The Journal of Curious Letters is filled with adventure, humor, riddles, and, oh, yes--danger... As M.G. warns Tick, Very frightening things are coming your way. Will you join Tick and his friends on an amazing journey through the Realities? What will your choice be?

why is this on my to-reads i dislike dashner's writing passionately (if i find a copy i'll flip through and decide but i do not want to get involved in a series especially when i dislike the writing)
Most important feature of this book: the kid tells his father about the weird stuff that's going on, the father believes him, and helps him with his adventure. Wow.Lots of fun. I enjoyed the puzzles, the adventure, and the characters.
Tick is exceptional only for his braininess. Otherwise, he leads an average life with nice parents, a standard unpleasant middle school, the usual geeky hobbies. One day he receives a mysterious letter asking for help and warning him that agreeing to help will put him in danger. Instead of saying wh...
This book is the first in a new fantasy series that explores the possibilities of alternate realities and how things might develop differently depending on a series of circumstances. It also includes lots of puzzles and riddles, but in a way that makes sense through the storytelling. They flow natur...
