"This is a thoroughly fun and a deliciously readable urban fantasy." - The Prairies Book Review, 5-Stars
17-year-old Zaidyn Mitchell thinks being known as a book nerd is weird enough-until he wakes up on his bedroom ceiling.
A newbie-weird-wizard-extraordinaire-Zaidyn must navigate his newfound identity, learn to fit in with his fellow freaks, and avoid scaring away Piper Duke, the girl of his dreams.
Thinking to impress her, he agrees to help Piper's father promote a project for a new library in a fairytale-like wooded area outside of town-but Project-Impress-Piper-With-a-Library backfires as Piper, along with his parents, strives to protect the wooded land.
The rules for the magical community are simple: avoid discovery and keep to your own kind. Despite warnings from friends and foes, Zaidyn pursues a relationship with the normal human Piper, earning them both the ire-and retaliation-of the ones in charge.
Zaidyn seeks answers. Who really owns the woods? Why is someone so bent on destroying them? And what are his parents and the other magical adults hiding in there?
As he grows closer to the answers-and to Piper-the outside pressure mounts, building toward a conclusion that makes Zaidyn wonder if they will ever truly be...
...out of the woods.
