When your big brother says, “Time’s frozen,” you expect a joke, maybe a weird science project. But nobody’s joking when Jefferson Elementary is stuck mid-chaos: juice boxes hanging like icicles, teachers floored mid-yell, and somewhere a paper airplane hovers in the moonlit hallway, just refusing to crash.
Ezra’s the one who steps through the blue ripple first—seriously, you’ve never seen anyone look that cool in a hoodie. He talks tech like he’s in some sci-fi, but it makes sense, weirdly. “We’re in,” he declares into his wrist com, eyes darting to the glowing school clocks. If you’d ever wanted to play real-life freeze tag, this isn’t what you pictured.
But the best part? My brothers and I (yeah, that’s right—Princeton, calmly snacking under a cafeteria table, and Giannni, younger and louder than a fire alarm, launching himself across the tiles with his rocket backpack) are the only ones moving. Giannni’s got his eyes on food (“Why’s my burrito still frozen?!”), Princeton’s crunching his granola bar like it’s another Wednesday, and apparently, there’s a supervillain in the gym.
Buckle up: the next level opens up with blue lightning and a clock-masked villain floating above the gym floor. Chronos—yeah, that’s what he calls himself—wants to keep everything perfectly still. Forever. He talks like he’s narrating a movie trailer and commands floating dodgeballs with time-ripple waves. If he hits midnight, time’s stuck—PERMANENTLY.
So Ezra’s thinking fast. Princeton’s strategizing snacks and escape routes (“I’m telling you, he’s messing with the time stream again”), and Giannni—well, he’s still complaining about his tragic burrito, but he’ll take down a villain if lunch is at stake. The plan? Outrace the time freeze, hack the bell, and remind Chronos: you don’t mess with brothers on a school night.
And when it’s over, just as things unfreeze, you’re back in your chair, pretending nothing happened. Except Giannni—mouth full, face annoyed—can’t stop moaning, “Why is the burrito still frozen?!” That’s family for you. Time may be normal again, but cafeteria food is forever unpredictable.
If you ever find yourself in a hallway where the world’s on pause, just remember: trust your brothers, dodge the villain, and carry snacks. Oh and—never, ever, trust a school clock.
