On their quest to reach a castle riddled with secrets, the siblings will encounter a magic carpet with a terrible sense of direction, a cowardly dragon, a gallant stranger in a flying wheelchair, and a candy farm with exploding Red Hots. They're both whisked through a door in the sky to the kingdom of Galdoren, where they quickly befriend a mischievous star and make a powerful enemy of Queen Glacidia, a one-eyed witch who rules over a land of never-ending winter. But why can't anyone else see the message? And why must he bring Jello? His teenage sister, Allie, follows him back to the theater at midnight. "Come back here at midnight, Ricky" Eleven-year-old Ricky watches in stunned silence as those words magically appear in the stars during a show at the Chicago Space Museum. Throw in a demented sorceress, a teen alchemist in desperate need of a haircut, a fearless king pining for an ill-tempered witch, a demonic shadow with a penchant for turning to mist, a cunning Claurican (think leprechaun, but with better shoes), and an army of invisible knights - all looking for a pair of bickering Earthlings. It all started with a stolen magic spell.
