This is a story about magic, if you like that kind of thing. It is also a story about a ghost with amnesia, an unpopular fairy, an ungrateful town, and a wise and helpful raven (who happens to be a pretty good storyteller).

In this tall tale about a short wizard, celebrated author Adam Rex proves once and for all that the biggest heroes often come in the smallest nightgowns.

Along the way he'll discover singing goblins, unicorn magic, a possible ostrich that breathes definite fire, and three companions who are pretty sure they're heroes already.
