Ambril’s life changes forever when during their move to Trelawnyd, she gets whacked on the head by a decorated stick. She soon finds out that it is one heck of a monster magnet. It seems to want to help her make sense of the strange, magical things that go on in her surroundings...that is most of the time.

Ambril is an old hand at moving, she thought she’d seen everything. But she becomes painfully aware that Trelawnyd isn’t the sweet little country town she was expecting. Bullies rule Main street as well as the playground. Magic is a dirty word, despite the fact that most Trelawnyd residents are chock full of it. It confuses and saddens her.

Fortunately she finds a few who are not afraid of magic. Together they begin to unlock the mysteries of the ancient village they live in including the mystery surrounding her father’s death.
