Nick, a merely average boy from the country of Thauma, has learned that one doesn’t need to be a genius or wealthy to have amazing adventures. All one needs is to keep going. When Solomon tries to put Elizabeth the android back together, Nick promises to help in any way that he can. He learns many important lessons, like the value of a speck, and to dodge mechanical baby strollers, fencing sisters, and auction bids. If all goes well, he might even make a few new friends too.
