WORMHOLES, THOUGHT WAVES, YARN OF TIME, SLIPPER - these are not spells, but names of academic disciplines. It is not magic that rules here, but science! Exactly four hundred years ago, the brilliant founder of the Quicksmith school left a letter in which she showed the way to her secrets. In order to get to them, the students of the school need to consistently find and solve ten mysteries. Even though Kip just recently entered this school, he is also joining the race. Kip, of course, loves puzzles and mysteries, but for him there is much more at stake than for everyone else. Kip believes that among these secrets there is one that will help him cure his mother.
