The Cast
Elizabeth "Lizzie" Sanders is 11 years old and already pretty sure she probably knows at least almost everything. Everything important anyway.
She lives with her mother and older sister and when she's not attending the 5th grade at Boulder Elementary School she's usually reading. Or looking for a quiet place to read. Or volunteering at the library.

Dillon Smith, commonly known as “Friday” is a 13-year-old boy who has a propensity for trouble. The son of a wealthy family, he is often found in detention at school. Between schoolyard fights, run ins with the teachers and his constant verbose encounters with lunch lady Doris for supplying what Dillon deems as cat food, he doesn’t get much time to socialize in school.
Dillon is not the brightest spark in the bunch, hence the nickname “Friday”. It takes him that long to understand what was told to him on Monday.
Dillon has short black hair and blue eyes. Partly Asian in appearance, a byproduct of his parents coupling. His father, American and his mother, Japanese. They are the owners of “Pantech Security”, a global technology company that supplies security robots to wealthy families and businesses.
Mark Campbell is a 12 year old boy genius with a passion for computers. His difficult home life leads him too spend most of his time in the library, reading on working the computer. He believes he is the smartest kid in school, and he very well may be right, but that attitude makes it hard for him to make friends. Mark always takes a scientific approach to investigating the strange occurrences in the loop, and believes there is always a rational solution...we just have to find it.
