Siblings Adam and Krystal go swimming by their house, and while skipping rocks, they make an incredible discovery: the rocks don’t skip but bounce right into the sky! So begins a day of disorder. With the help of Great Granny Franny Force, the children discover that King Chaos is trying to take over the world and turn it completely upside-down.

In order to stop this evil king, Adam and Krys must travel to the world of Chaos, overcome its dangerous hazards, and rescue a dear friend from the dreaded king’s castle. Along the way, the children learn much from Grandpa Gravity, his friend Newton, and a trio of sisters with subtle differences among them—Alice Acceleration, Vicky Velocity, and Samantha Speed.

With the help of their new friends, Adam and Krys might just succeed. But King Chaos is full of tricks; using his terrible henchman, Hap Hazard, the king could turn the children’s world of order into a cataclysm of chaos. Adam and Krys are humanity’s only hope, but can they navigate Chaos, or will they get lost in a world without order?
