The Sphere of Mystery is headed to a specific cache in Zion named A Piece of History. The Sphere has some, as yet unknown, connection to Zion’s past. Perhaps it was left behind in California by Zion’s founder John Alexander Dowie on his trip here well over a century ago. A mysterious force is pulling it back home. It’s up to the students in Mrs. Ferguson’s class to discover the mystery once the Sphere finds its way home.
