About the Story

The story of Welcome to the Wayne follows a boy named Ansi Molina. He moves into a very tall apartment building called the Wayne. This building is full of strange and unusual things. These weird happenings are called "Wayne Phenomena."

Ansi is one of the few people who can see these strange things without getting scared or confused. He quickly becomes friends with two siblings, Olly and Saraline Timbers. Together, they form "Team Timbers." Their mission is to explore the mysteries of the Wayne. They also work to protect the outside world from the building's secrets. However, a group of spies wants to use the Wayne's supernatural powers for their own bad plans. Team Timbers must stop them.
