Publisher's Synopsis
A self-professed geek born on the Fourth of July, twelve-year-old Ash Beaumont lives, eats, and breathes in the world of challenges. An only child, he adores his parents Joseph and Elizabeth, and family is important. So he's excited when Grandfather Pierre presents him with a special grand looking gift-the Beaumont Family Scrapbook. Covered in brown faded leather, Ash soon discovers that this is much more than a family history with photographs, drawings, illustrations, and notes. It is a life-changer, and he begins to believe in magic when unusual events occur. As he deals with unexpected journeys brought on by the secrets of the scrapbook, he faces a host of person crises-like two sudden deaths in the family and the loss of the use of his legs. But through all of these challenges, Ash can count on the love and guidance of his mother and the unending support of his best friend Dale.
