Botheration

While seventeen-year-old Matty Weber is gazing upward at the evening sky, he witnesses an explosion on the lunar surface and later a cryptic message drawn by a skywriting plane. At the time, he doesn't realize how prophetic these events will be in his school life or for the people on Earth.
School's out for the winter. School's out forever? Something weird is happening all over Matty's small town of Scotsbourgh.
Why is everyone acting strange? Has Matty changed, or is it the people around him? To discover and sort through the clues, Matty teams up with the grown-ups: his biological dad, his mother, and his stepdad, along with his friends Gabriel and Samantha. From the streets of Scotsbourgh to a brief stay at Stanford University, the adventure is on!
They travel to study dinosaur fossil remains and Mars rock in Utah before a boarding a first class flight on a C-17 air transport plane to the ruins of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey and then to India. Matty's search for the truth makes him realize he sees only the tip of this iceberg-like mystery. He summons all his wits and newly gained skills to overcome the ultimate challenge but not before learning that these growing pains are an integral part of reaching his goal.
