From the author of The Death Wizard Chronicles comes an award-winning adventure for teens and adults alike — a coming-of-age fantasy bursting with heart, humor, and high-stakes heroism.

Charlie is a 13-year-old misfit with one true friend—his dog. Bullied at school and ignored at home, he escapes into the woods where he stumbles upon a mysterious waterfall glowing with otherworldly light. What happens next will change his life forever. Transported to a breathtaking realm of monsters, magic, and ancient prophecies, Charlie is no longer just a nerd—he’s a wizard with untapped power. But a dark threat is rising, and a monstrous villain is determined to unleash chaos.
