Oliver Nelson has a terrible secret—he’s a thief. But he only steals books from the Garden Grove Library that are old, musty, brittle, or incomplete, like his favorite book, The Timekeeper’s Children. No one reads anymore, and surely no one will miss them, right? Wrong. The Pribbles are famous inventors of the most popular toy in the world, alternate-reality goggles. They are also book collectors who are searching for The Timekeeper’s Children, so the Pribbles hatch a plan. They invite Oliver, the last person to have checked it out, to their YELLOW mansion and use special software from their JACKET goggles to steal the last remaining copy of the book—from inside Oliver’s mind.
