When Johnny and his best friend, Alison, pass their summer holidays dabbling in magic, they never expect it to have consequences. Sure, it'd be great if they could banish bullies or change their lives for the better, and what harm could come from lighting a few candles and chanting a few spells?

Whisked away to the institute and told they can never return to their old lives, Johnny and Alison must quickly adapt to a new world shimmering with monsters, fraternities, and cute boys like Hunter and Blake. But when they're pulled into a dark, supernatural fight that could cost them their lives, they'll have to find strength they never knew they had as they battle for love, acceptance, and their own happy endings -- all with the help of a little bit of magic.

Tomás Lasserre no recuerda sus sueños. Nunca lo ha hecho, y esta noche tampoco será distinto. Pero mientras duerme, tendido en una vereda bajo la única luz de un farol suspendido en la nada, vive algo que jamás sabrá que vivió: un ratón con anteojos de carey y una cortesía insufrible se detiene frente a él, se presenta como Ferdinand, y le confunde el nombre. Antes de que Tomás pueda aclarar quién es, se ve arrastrado a una travesía imposible: una escalera que asciende peldaño a peldaño hasta la Luna, custodiada por un inspector con un reloj por rostro; un gremio de roedores desesperado por un queso legendario, oculto entre los cráteres; y una puerta de piedra que no debería existir -una puerta que, según Ferdinand, alguien más querría para sí. Pero cuanto más avanza, más preguntas se acumulan. ¿Por qué Ferdinand parece conocerlo de antes? ¿Por qué sus propias manos, su propia voz, no dejan de cambiar? Y detrás de la puerta -donde no debería haber nada- espera algo que no es queso, ni cósmico ni de ningún otro tipo. Un estruendo. Colores sin nombre. Y entonces, todo se apaga. Al despertar, no quedará nada. Ni un rastro. Solo esa sensación, terca, de tener algo en la punta del pensamiento.

It still feels like the old days were the normal days. I'm probably just showing my age. Back then, most of us had jobs in the suburbs. We'd drive to those jobs in cars. Gas was less than $25 a gallon. And people would go shopping for fun, of all things. Back then, when all these things were normal, the damnedest thing happened. And that damnedest thing went on for so long it started to feel normal, too. * * * How do we change, when change is hard? What happens, when we live with the absurd for so long that it becomes commonplace? Where do we look for consistency in a world that is collapsing around us, and what happens when the one thing we cling to is the one thing we cannot explain? * * * This is projected to be a four part story. I'll post on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Cover art by Donna Davis.
