A friendless, misfit boy unwittingly becomes a wizard and ends up having to save the town he is desperately trying to escape. 
 

All Goff wanted was for his essay on witchcraft to be good enough to win a scholarship to a private academy far away from Spraksville, the miserable, spooky little town he is stuck in. But, if he’d known that Spraksville’s history of witchcraft was more than just folklore, he never would have experimented with casting a spell in the cemetery at midnight as research to make the essay great. 

 

When his spellcasting unexpectedly sparks some real magic, the gargoyles make Goff a wizard, and he becomes the mortal enemy of Harkland Mathers XIII, the most powerful dark wizard in centuries—an evil sorcerer plotting to become invincible by performing an ancient ritual on Halloween night that will destroy the entire town and everyone in it.

 

While navigating the confusing world of magic, keeping himself and his newfound friends alive, and trying to stop the ritual, Goff discovers his fate is part of a plot hatched thirteen generations ago to make him the chosen one…chosen to be the clueless misfit wizard who will have no chance of stopping the ritual that will make this

The enchanting moon spirit girl’s magical gumball wasn’t supposed to wake up for a human, but it wasn’t accidental that the most powerful, mischievous magical object in existence awoke for him. It was destiny. 

 

For an abandoned orphan with no past and no future, there really was no reason not to help the enchanting moon spirit girl out with her magic gumball problem. So, as bizarre as it was, he agreed to babysit her ancient gumball until the first night of the next full moon. Thirty days of protecting a little white orb that she promised would “never wake up for a human.” 

 

No big deal. 

 

Except, she had lied a little…or was confused (it turns out she’s confused a lot). For some reason, the most powerful, mischievous magical object in existence awoke for him as soon as she flew off.

 

Things got all magical and scary and weird quickly after that. First he was forced to swallow it to keep it from a 250-pound bully, which made his skin glow, and then it gave him a vision of an ancient, moon-worshipping cult and a creepy demoness with cracked gray skin and black eyes who wanted to kill everyone (apparently that’s her thing).

 

So the next day, when he was unexpectedly transferred to a super-strict, oddballs-only foster family far away in the suburbs, his dream of finally having a family and his promise to return her orb collided. And that’s when things get REALLY weird. Nasty glowing spirits search for him with an enchanted human eye; slinky, devious shadow spirits ooze out of lobster traps; the Orb reveals ancient disturbing stories about evil spirits, treachery, and forbidden love; and the nasty demoness who wants to kill everyone starts showing up in his world (yes, behind him in the mirror one night–seriously creepy). 

 

Ultimately, he discovers that family can take many forms. And, as he comes to realize that he must unravel the bewildering truth of his own past to save the future for everyone, he also learns that bonds forged in the face of danger may be the strongest of all.
