Anything But Normal

By Brent Pickford

Anything but Normal, follows the story of twelve-year-old Levi Miller, whose predictable life in Normal, Illinois, is upended when his military father is abruptly transferred to the peculiar town of Oddity, New York. On the surface, Oddity is a picturesque, retro-style community, but Levi quickly discovers it is a containment zone for a volatile magical rift and a sanctuary for cryptids. Teaming up with a local conspiracy-theorist kid named Spence, Levi uncovers a hidden world of anomalies, ancient pacts, and a rogue military faction intent on weaponizing the town's magic. Ultimately, Levi must embrace a destiny he never asked for, transforming from an ordinary boy into the "Keeper" of Oddity to protect his new home.
