From the author of School for Sidekicks comes a witty and thoughtful
middle-grade fantasy about the bonds of family and the strength of true
friendship.
Fans of Percy Jackson will be eager to hop into Kalvan's world. --The
Bulletin
Kalvan Monroe is worried. Either he's going mad or he really did wake up
with uncontrollable fire magic and accidentally summon a snarky talking
fire hare. (Yes, that's right, a hare. Made of fire. That talks.) He's
got to be going crazy, right?
But if he's not, then magic actually is real, and he's got even more
problems to worry about. Because Kalvan isn't the only one with powers.
The same fire magic that allows him to talk his way into and out of
trouble burned too brightly in his mother, damaging her mind and leaving
her vulnerable to the cold, manipulative spells of the Winter King.
Can Kalvan gain control of his power in time to save his mother, or will
their fires be snuffed out forever?
Kelly McCullough combines Magic, Madness, and Mischief--as well as
danger--in a delightful fantasy set in a magical version of St. Paul,
Minnesota.
