When three kids discover there are seven separate minutes a day they can make magic happen, they’ll need all the time they can get to save the world.

An ordinary day turns extraordinary when Cal witnesses the neighbor girl summon a slew of lost spare change without lifting a finger. Turns out she has a secret manual of magic spells…but they only work sometimes. And they’re the most boring spells ever:

To Change the Color of a Room

To Repair a Chimney

To Walk With Stilts

To Untangle Yarn

Useless! But when the kids are suddenly transported to the world the spells come from–a world that’s about to lose its last dragon–they’ll have to find a way to use the oddly specific spells to save the day, if only they can figure out exactly when magic works.

From the inventive mind of Henry Clark comes a hilariously wacky adventure about magic, friendship, a lookout tower come to life, a corn maze shaped like a dragon, an actual dragon named Phlogiston, and gallons and gallons of tomato juice.
