Twelve-year-old Mikey is a troubled, but imaginative boy on the verge of growing up. All his life, he's seen the world as a magical place, inhabited by mystical creatures ... including terrible monsters that sometimes threaten the people he loves.
His best friends are a wise garden-gnome, a smelly goblin, and a playful sprite named Tansy-magical creatures only Mikey can see. This gets him into lots of trouble and keeps him from making "real" friends at school.
But when a new girl named Heather moves next door, Mikey begins to take an interest in the "ordinary" human world. And the mystical creatures all around him don't like that one bit.
A contemporary fantasy adventure, filled with suspense and lots of humor, STRANGE & MAGICAL WORLD is a spooky coming-of-age story about real and imaginary friends, overcoming trauma and fears, and growing up ... even when we don't want to.
