An ordinary day turns extraordinary when twelve-year-old Cal witnesses his neighbor Modesty summon a slew of lost coins without lifting a finger. It turns out that she has a secret manual of magic spells, although they only work sometimes. But in this humorous adventure for readers 9 to 12, when Cal, Modesty, and their friend Drew are suddenly transported to the world the spells come from, they discover a book of magic spells that can only be cast during a few short minutes a day, and they'll need all the time they can get to save a dying magical world, its last dragon, and themselves.
