Tolly's Ball

Who is the young Tuckerton Tollyfether, known by his friends, The Group, as Tolly? Tolly enjoys books and as he reads, many questions occur to him. He goes to his one adult friend on his world to ask why none of the people on their world have their own children. The answer amazes him. He is told he is was 3rd child of his parents, from a sister world and only two were permitted in this very planned world. The 'overflow' is sent to his world. Tolly knows something is not right with the explanation. As his learning progresses, he has more questions than answers. Was he really a "Third" or was he kidnapped, and if so by whom and for what reason? Is he special? Is he like the others in his group? In a world of misfits, Tolly's friends are the most misfit of all. What is his destiny and that of his girlfriend, Facil, and their unborn child? What happens when he finds out there is a Third World? What is Tolly's Ball and why is it used to control exit and entry to the three worlds? Tolly begins an odyssey and it is one he absolutely never planned for.
