After being teased one too many times, Ignatius MacFarland decides to build a rocket. Maybe extraterrestrials are nicer than his classmates! But when his rocket takes an explosive wrong turn, Ignatius ends up in another frequency run by former English-teacher-turned-dictator, Chester Arthur. Mr. Arthur has taken the art, culture, and advancements of our world, shared them with this new frequency, and convinced the creatures around him that he’s a genius. It’s up to Iggy and Karen, another trapped frequenaut, to expose Mr. Arthur for the fraud that he is – and to hopefully make it home alive. Part comedy, part science fiction, and part fantasy, this debut novel makes being a geek, well, kind of cool.

About the Author:

Paul Feig is the creator of the critically acclaimed TV show, Freaks & Geeks, and the author of the adult memoirs Kick Me and Superstud.

From AudioFile:

Paul Feig, creator of the quirky TV series "Freaks & Geeks," presents Ignatius "Iggy" MacFarland, who accidentally moves into another "frequency" when his homemade rocket actually takes off. He's an unashamed nerdy boy who's not afraid to admit he's scared and even lets girls help him. Feig narrates this gem himself, getting every nuance just perfect. Iggy takes on his former teacher, Chester Arthur, now a dictator who runs his kingdom much like he ran his classroom. En route, Iggy does a lot of growing up and has his first girlfriend. A final treat is an interview with the author, who admits it wasn't difficult creating Iggy because he himself has never grown up. S.G.B. � AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
