The Journal of Curious Letters is a 2008 novel by James Dashner. It is the first book in the children's fantasy series The 13th Reality published by Shadow Mountain Publishing.
Atticus Higginbottom, a.k.a Tick, is an average thirteen-year-old boy until the day a strange letter arrives in his mailbox. Postmarked from Alaska and cryptically signed with the initials "M.G.," the letter informs Tick that dangerous—perhaps even deadly—events have been set in motion that could result in the destruction of reality itself. M.G. promises to send Tick twelve riddles that will reveal on a certain day, a certain time, and a certain place, something extraordinary will happen.
