Young inventor Tyler Washburn was always getting into trouble due to his numerous failed projects. Early one morning when testing his newest invention, theAutomatic Locker Organizer v.2.0, Tyler could not help but be drawn into a closet with a strange blue glow where the touch of one star whisked him across the galaxy to join aliens at the STAR academy. Tyler finds acceptance for his creativity, talents and different beat at TheSociety ofTechnologicallyAdvancedRaces where he joins students from all over the universe to promote intergalactic peace.

School just got a lot more interesting.

My newest invention was theAutomatic Locker Organizer v.2.0.The next morning, I was testing it at school, when I noticed something strange...a creepy blue glow coming from the janitor's closet.The door was unlocked, so I had to peek inside. Everything looked pretty normal except for a shiny star on the edge of the sink. Of course I had to touch it. As soon as I did, the closet transformed into some kind of crazy elevator. The next thing I knew I was moving down so fast I could barely stand on my feet!
