Discovering who and what you are truly meant to be is no easy task. Just ask Mok Fog Bob. Mok, a bright, intuitive fifteen-year-old member of Vowella's present-day Fog Bob clan, embarks on a mission to help the town's earthborn Angelicous, Mr. RJ PLOM, unlock the key to the Vowellans' unknown purpose in the mystical world of Heaven's Wait. The curious, comical, and often troubling everyday behaviors of Vowella's five colorful, quirky clans-the Ham Bats, Net Kens, Fig Wigs, Fog Bobs, and Rug Bums-may be keeping them from discovering their destiny. Mok is determined to find out why. When Mok becomes a frustrated researcher, RJ calls on his own mentor for help in solving the puzzle. From Lady Wisteena, a mysterious angel-type figure who resides in Heaven's Wait's capital, New Life City, he learns that there are no easy solutions to such complicated missions. Will Mok's investigations turn up enough clues to help RJ shed new light on the Vowellans' destiny? Or is Mok asking too much of himself, his community, and customs that have endured for generations?
