A classic coming-of-age story about a young man who struggles to find his place in a confusing, modern world. Initially set against the snowy backdrop of rural Idaho, the story sprawls into a world of magic; a curious world that is perhaps not so different from our own. Our hero will question how we choose to conduct our lives, examine the decisions we make as people, and learn the incalculable value of friendship. *** An excerpt from the book: "The world is in the fields and the farms. The world is twilight and velvet, dawn and gold. It is spiced cider and cinnamon pumpkin. It is Halloween night and haunted houses; broomsticks and harvest moons. It is bubbling stews and black forests. It is the chatter of fairies and the silence of crumbling castles. It is the soft footsteps of elves and the loud laughter of dwarves. It is the slosh of steaming mead and the majestic menace of roosting dragons. It is the lure of vampires and the fear of werewolves. It is, my friend, the world of magic."
