As he attempts to immerse himself in the culture and traditions of his new home, Grummpess's curiosity for solving problems leads him into an entirely different world when he discovers a hidden science laboratory formerly occupied by a famous inventor. But it is not until he decides to bring a stentz back to life one day that Grummpess unwittingly opens a new door to becoming the perfect scientist.
In this action-packed fantasy tale, a teenager battling a monstrous side he never wanted sets out on an unimaginable journey in a new country where he discovers a passion for science.
